Description

Having brought British cinema into exalted realms of fantasy and imagination, Michael Powell took a dark detour into obsession, voyeurism, and violence with this groundbreaking metacinematic investigation into the mechanics of fear. Armed with his killer camera, photographer and filmmaker Mark Lewis (Carl Boehm) unleashes the traumas of his childhood by murdering women and recording their deaths—until he falls for his downstairs neighbor, and finds himself struggling against his dark compulsions. Received with revulsion upon its release only to be reclaimed as a masterpiece, the endlessly analyzed, still-shocking Peeping Tom dares viewers to confront their own relationship to the violence on-screen. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features Two audio commentaries, one featuring film historian Ian Christie and one featuring film scholar Laura Mulvey Introduction by filmmaker Martin Scorsese Interview with editor Thelma Schoonmaker Documentary about the film’s history, featuring interviews with Schoonmaker, Scorsese, and actor Carl Boehm Documentary about screenwriter Leo Marks Program on the film’s restoration Trailer English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: An essay by author Megan Abbott

Powell and Pressburger’s feverishly romantic adaptation is a feast of music, dance, and visual effects, and one of the most exhilarating opera films ever produced BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES 4K digital restoration by The Film Foundation and the BFI National Archive, in association with STUDIOCANAL, featuring newly rediscovered footage and with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Audio commentary from 1992 by filmmaker Martin Scorsese and critic Bruce Eder, newly updated by Eder Interview with filmmaker George A.
