To capture the claustrophobic dread of Robert Eggers' thriller TheLighthouse, DP Jarin Blaschke turned to rare film stock and some 'off-menu' lenses
now finds itself in the conversation thanks to the stark, evocative work of Eggers' regular collaborator Jarin Blaschke. The two have worked together on two shorts and two features, including 2015's breakout horror filmLensed on location at Cape Forchu in Nova Scotia , the A24 release follows two lighthouse keepers in the 1890s — Willem Dafoe as Thomas Wake and Robert Pattinson as Ephraim Winslow — who battle the elements and, eventually, each other on an island as a storm approaches.
To achieve the film's vintage look and texture, Blaschke chose to shoot with the rarely used Kodak Double-X 35mm film to capture a "unique signature that you can't get any other way." The DP also visited Panavision and asked for something "off menu." There, he found original Bausch & Lomb Baltar lenses, which were designed in the 1930s. "I also [found] a lens from 1905 that we used for a few shots, for some heightened sequences with a lot of distortions," Blaschke says.
"It was very difficult to not envision this scene as a series of static close-ups intercutting between Pattinson's face, a POV of each detail he's coveting, his hand reaching, then with the knife," Blaschke admits, adding that instead he decided to place the camera on the other side of the action, dollying between magnified targets of Winslow's attention in the foreground as Winslow's hand remains in frame as the "performer.
