Peek-a-boo

If you're in the mood for theory cinema, you'll find just about every argument posited by the best of the eighties feminist thinkers exacted upon 20 years prior in Michael Powell's Peeping Tom. Max is a cinematographer and porn photographer who kills women with a rather ingeniously original method of employment. It is a film which delves directly into just what it is to play voyeur. It is one I highly recommend - especially the Criterion version, whose supplemental features are quite enthralling.

About

Film @ Flukiest is devoted to the analysis of contemporary film and to observing how the oldies might hold up, years after their execution. There is a certain tendency to focus on those films that lie at the fringes of respectability. But that's probably why you're here instead of at RogerEbert.com.
