Peeping Tom (1960)

We're jetting back to 1960 to check out Michael Powell's classic Peeping Tom. First: forget Psycho (ok, we can't help but make comparisons!). But really, this film deserves more attention and recognition, and not just because it's a trivia question in Scream 4! Joe is adamant that the film is about more than gendered violence, while Trace has all of the medical deets about scopophilic fetishism aka voyeurism. Plus: a Scorcese save, penis tripods, films within films (Singin' in the Rain!), the film's interest in disability, and our love of these female characters, especially Moira Shearer's Vivian.
