    The director chose to play Böhm, who became famous as the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph (the husband of Princess Sissi), to portray a perverted killer combined with a battered childhood. Moreover, he has successfully combined fetishes, paraphiles, sadists, voyeurs, and stalkers into this role, which are the perverted killer labels that are widely used in today's cult films, which is so...

    The camera is not only an extension of the visual organ, but also the externalization of violence and sexual consciousness. Through psychoanalysis, we can find out how it transforms from the power discourse of seeing-being seen into a substitute for phallus in the film. Teachers will have dark secret rooms, where is the entrance to the most obscene obsession in the unconscious.

    Obviously it is not accurate to compare the camera to the extension of the phallus because the camera is only an extension of visual desire, it also needs a synthesis of physical desire. This is Mark's ultimate device. When the leg is broken, it is a human erection that penetrates the female body (usually the throat). That is, the device is inserted. It is also equipped with a reflecting mirror, so the ultimate fear is the great pleasure. It is the same for the murderer and the victim. More...

    the director said

    In the 1950s and 1960s, "self-reflection" and "voyeurism" became two important motifs in modern cinema. In the 1950s, Al Hitchcock's "Rear Window" expressed the theme of "voyeurism". In the 1960s, self-reflection included Jean-Luc Godard's "Contempt" and Federico Fellini's "Eight and a Half". The...

    voyeur in the lens

    Mike Powell's "Pepping Tom" is a really good movie, no wonder Scorsese is so respected, and the Top Ten of British film history often picks it up. In terms of consciousness and technique, this film is very avant-garde, and it is a symbolic classic that classic film theory is willing to explain....
