This is how I discovered Michael Powell as well. Can't believe it wrecked his career. It's a gorgeous film.

[@crieff1sand2s]

Powell was ahead of the game...his best films are masterpieces and that certainly includes Peeping Tom....

[@NoirFan84]

I discovered Micheal Powell's films thanks to Scorsese's open adoration for them. Peeping Tom & The Red Shoes are right up there amongst my favourite films. Absolute masterpieces presented in incredibly striking coloured palettes.

This film has become quite gothic with time, the machine fetishism takes on an antique quality. But the theme has only become more poignant. Now, Mark is us, we are all filmmakers and voyeurs. Filmed and filming each other perpetually. I can’t stop thinking about the ending, when he reveals that every room of the house is recorded. Magnificent

I first saw this film when it was released in 1960....amazingly now...it was on a double bill with Psycho...at my local cinema in Manchester

Weird has such an impact and you can’t recall the year it came out? It was 1962, not 60

[@6Haunted-Days]

O wait you had to have it be 1960 cuz that’s when Psycho was released ….o well…sorry about that….but PT didn’t come out until 1962. Try again.

I think the most audacious aspect of the entire film is Powell's willingness to go beyond the generic morality of murderers being fundamentally evil and actually attempting to make the audience sympathize with such a depraved individual. For the 1960s, it's amazing that Powell could see the tragic fatalism of such a character.
Also, you cannot help but think that with all the references to pornography and a film about an individual who films lurid subject matter, Powell was signaling the cultural change that was about to take place and the explosion of cinema and titillation.
