Michael Powell

SPECIAL EDITION * DIGITALT RESTAURERAD I 4K<br/><br/>UTSEDD TILL EN AV HISTORIENS 10 BÄSTA SKRÄCKFILMER<br/>The Observer, 2010<br/><br/>Nästan samtidigt 1960 hade två filmer om en psykotisk mördare biopremiär. Hitchcocks PSYCHO klassades som ett mästerverk och blev en gigantisk succé, medan PEEPING TOM gjord av den högt aktade och folkkäre landsmannen Michael Powell blev slaktad av brittisk press ("spola ner skiten i toaletten", skrev en kritiker). På den rasande allmänhetens begäran drogs filmen bort från biograferna bara efter fem dagar, vilket i princip ödelade Powells dittills lysande karriär. I Sverige blev filmen också illa behandlad. Hela tre gånger (!) totalförbjöds den och släpptes inte fri förrän efter 13 år.<br/><br/>I dag är filmen - om en ung man, märkt av sin barndom, som mördar kvinnor medan han filmar deras ångestfyllda dödsögonblick - sedan länge omvärderad. Detta mycket tack vare hängivna beundrare som Scorsese, Coppola och De Palma som alla inspirerats av filmen.<br/><br/>I denna utgåva får vi uppleva den legendariska filmen digitalt restaurerad i 4k och i det extensiva bonusmaterialet avtäcks hela historien om hur "den ökända skitfilmen" numera betraktas som ett banbrytande mästerverk.<br/><br/>TVÅ TIMMAR BONUSMATERIAL<br/>INTRODUKTION av Martin Scorsese * KOMMENTARSPÅR med filmhistorikern och Powell-experten prof.
