Having brought British cinema into exalted realms of fantasy and
imagination, Michael Powell took a
dark detour into obsession, voyeurism, and violence with this groundbreaking
metacinematic investigation into the mechanics of fear. Armed with his killer
camera, photographer and filmmaker Mark Lewis (Carl Boehm) unleashes the traumas of his childhood by murdering
women and recording their deaths—until he falls for his downstairs neighbor,
and finds himself struggling against his dark compulsions. Received with
revulsion upon its release only to be reclaimed as a masterpiece, the endlessly
analyzed, still-shocking Peeping Tom dares viewers to confront
their own relationship to the violence on-screen. (1960, 101 mins)
