A Very British Psycho is an intriguing dive into the shadows of cinema, particularly focusing on Michael Powell’s controversial 1960 work, Peeping Tom. The documentary provides a fascinating glimpse into the backlash that film faced upon its release, but what really stands out is the exploration of Leo Marks, the screenwriter. It’s not just about the film but about the cultural ripples it created. You get this palpable tension throughout, as the pacing allows for reflection on the nature of horror and voyeurism. The interviews are candid, revealing, and let’s be honest, quite layered in their emotional honesty. It’s not your typical documentary – it has that British dry wit and a kind of somber charm that makes it distinctive.
