Peeping Tom
Leaving January 31
•
1h 42m
Directed by Michael Powell • 1960 • United Kingdom
Starring Carl Boehm, Moira Shearer, Anna Massey
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.
