Our Powell and Pressburger Month intensifies with their 1960 exploration of voyeurism, Peeping Tom.
Mark Lewis (Carl Boehm) is your average loner film studio worker during the day, but at night, he takes form as a racy photographer of women. He soon befriends Helen, the daughter of a family living in the apartment below his, and he tells her about the movie he is making: a documentary on fear, and his technique being the recording of his murder victims.
Initially dejected by critics for its disturbing material, Peeping Tom is an intense and eerily prescient exploration of the human eye, and its ability to corrupt.
