A screening of the 2019 black-and-white psychological horror film The Lighthouse at Screenland Armour, the Hometown Cinema of Kansas City.
Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse is playing at Screenland Armour on Monday, November 2, at 7:45 PM. It's a 2019 period piece that puts two lighthouse keepers on a remote, mysterious New England island in the 1890s, where they both struggle to keep their sanity while stuck together in the middle of nowhere. If you've seen it, you know how that goes—the isolation does most of the heavy lifting, and the two lead performances carry the whole thing.
Screenland Armour is the Hometown Cinema of Kansas City, and this screening fits right into what they do. They program a mix of new mainstream, independent, foreign, and classic cinema, and they're one of the few places around here that still runs 35mm and 70mm film and puts on live scores. The Lighthouse is a great example of the kind of independent film that feels like it belongs on a big screen rather than a laptop, especially with the way Eggers handles the atmosphere and the claustrophobia of that island.
