The Red Shoes (1948) • 1960: • Powell’s Peeping Tom released to scathing reviews: • “The only really satisfactory way to dispose of Peeping Tom would be to shovel it up and flush it swiftly down the nearest sewer.

  4. Peeping Tom: Things to Look For • Mise-en-scene: • How does arrangement of space contribute to the suspense and horror? What happens onscreen versus off? • How is color used? Costuming? Light? • How does Mark arrange his subjects? • What is the film’s point-of-view, and how does that shape your response? • Is the film sadistic? In other words, does it take pleasure in suffering?
