I can't understand why the film got the reaction it did and essentially ended Powell's career. What, it made people uncomfortable?!? Isn't that one of the functions of art? I suppose most people prefer to see a movie that doesn't make them think or work at all. I like those movies as much as the next guy but I still prefer to have a movie like PEEPING TOM which is startling, original and beautifully made -- and it makes you pay attention. Extremely well worth seeing for anyone interested in film.Cerptshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788317865445255338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755380292989019165.post-5469164329185440312008-11-30T03:39:00.000-05:002008-11-30T03:39:00.000-05:00The film is a total knock out - a truly disturbing...The film is a total knock out - a truly disturbing masterpiece, a horror film, a treatise on film directing, a voyeuristic treat. It's full of so many little in=jokes for the movie fan yet remains a totally serious (yet far from unhumerous)classic. I've been to a couple of the locations and have actually been in the shop where Bohm takes his naughty pics.<BR/>Last time I was there it was a record shop. The opening scene with the prostitute was filmed a few yards away.Weavermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09833233577048591427noreply@blogger.com
