The Eye of the Beholder dives deep into the psyche of Peeping Tom, a film that stirred up quite a bit of controversy back in its day. The documentary's tone is reflective and a bit somber, almost like exploring a haunted house of cinema. It features various interviews, but the highlight has to be the rare conversation with Karlheinz Böhm. His candidness about the impact that role had on him is pretty striking. You get this sense of how certain performances can linger, change a person. The pacing is slow, but it allows for deeper contemplation on themes of voyeurism and morality. This film isn’t flashy, but it’s essential for anyone interested in the intricate layers of film history and the effects it can have on those involved.
