Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, and Rachel Weisz star in Derek Cianfrance’s 2016 romance The Light Between Oceans.
The Big Picture Michael Fassbender is without a doubt one of the best actors working today, but that doesn’t mean that viewing any of his films is a particularly uplifting experience. Fassbender seems to almost exclusively pick projects with a foreboding sense of doom and gloom.
Tom takes up a lonely position as the lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock off the coast of Australia. It’s an isolated post that isn’t similar to the sort of position that he would have served in during the war. Tom is content to stay within the confines of his position, but unexpected circumstances introduce him to the local girl Isabel . Surprisingly, Tom finds that the warmth and compassion that Isabel brings to his life is exactly what he needed.
Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander Have Incredible Chemistry Close The Light Between Oceans almost exclusively relies on the chemistry between these two actors. While Cianfrance decks the screen with beautiful images of post-war Australia, the film doesn’t really start introducing new characters until its third act. It simply relies on Fassbender and Vikander feeling like a real couple, and they do a great job of avoiding points in which their relationship could feel like melodrama.
