How Four Films Demonstrate The Cinematic Beauty Of Moments Both Big And Small

In all likelihood, Robert Pattinson will be remembered by casual movie fans for playing two very high-profile roles in pop-culture juggernauts: Edward, the tortured vampire hero of the quasi-romantic stalker saga Twilight and its sequels; and Bruce Wayne, the beloved superhero he's playing for director Matt Reeves' Batman release that hasn't yet started production.

Ephraim is the movie's point-of-view character, who arrives at a remote island lighthouse to assist Thomas in its upkeep for one month. It's literally a thankless task, as Thomas doesn't offer gratitude for the help so much as a strict regimen of routines too exacting for Ephraim to learn. He cleans floors, and Thomas barks at him to clean them again. He's supposed to be training, but Thomas forbids him from actually approaching, much less learning about, the actual light.

Pattinson tethers the movie's uncanny strangeness to something resembling real human emotion. It's his performance that makes the movie feel, at times, like a parable about work—the consuming, potentially crushing madness of ceaseless, pointless labor. Ephraim is given tasks that don't seem to connect to anything except that he's being paid to perform them, and perform them to Thomas' sometimes-insane specifications.
