Two keepers take a four-week turn on a rock, and the weeks stop agreeing with the log. Eggers and Jarin Blaschke shoot in a nearly square black-and-white frame, so the faces and the lamp fill it. Willem Dafoe’s Thomas is a monologue with a pipe. Robert Pattinson’s Winslow wants the light and will not say why in a way that survives the rum. The A24 trailer is the foghorn and the beans. The enchantment, if that is the word, stays upstairs.
