10 Astounding Facts About The Lighthouse You Didn't Know

Eggers is a perfectionist through and through and a visionary that knows what he wants. He conducts extensive research down to the very inflection of words and syntax. This level of feverish control and attention to detail evokes the same attitudes of legendary Stanley Kubrick.

He spent a considerable amount of time studying the VVITCH's period from the type of material they used for houses to the candle wax used. It's no surprise The Lighthouse received that amount of detail as he researched the history of mermaids, the language of the time, clothing, portrait photos of the era, etc.

The demanding amount of attention to inflection, meticulous blocking, and weather conditions made the film an endeavor to endure and be on set for. His perfectionism knows no limit and quite frankly puts him on the trajectory of standing alongside Kubrick as a true visionary.
