Hi everyone!

Released in Britain less than a month before Hitchcock’s Psycho had its American premiere, Powell’s Peeping Tom, which shares many of the same themes—voyeurism, murder, obsession, trauma — was reviled by critics at the time and sidelined by audiences. Yet Powell’s masterpiece takes the idea of voyeurism much further than Hitchcock’s: Peeping Tom represents one of the most daring rebukes of cinema itself, and as such would ultimately mark the end of Powell’s career.

From this week we will no longer be doing Watch Along Wednesday, instead we’ll simply be sharing the links every Sunday and again at some point in the week and you can watch the films whenever you like. If you enjoyed our Wednesday Watch Along let us know and we may start it again in the future.🍿

Remember to tell us what you think 💭 And please like, share, or zap ⚡️

Enjoy! 🎬👁📽❤️
