The film has an aspect ratio of 1.19:1, an almost-square frame that was used in the early sound years by filmmakers including Fritz Lang and Georg Wilhelm Pabst. It was originally necessary to make room on the physical film for the soundtrack. For The Lighthouse, they specifically chose this aspect ratio because "the spaces in this movie are meant to feel confined, it's more of a close-up movie than The Witch (2015). The idea of widescreen only came about in the 1950s - we wanted to take people back further than that."
