The film"s page
Victime d’expérimentations durant l’enfance, Mark Lewis doit faire face à des pulsions scopiques incontrôlables. Technicien de studio, le jeune homme exorcise ses propres fantasmes en s’attaquant à des prostitués qu’il assassine à l’aide d’une caméra dotée d’une lame et qui lui permet de capter la terreur qui envahit le visage de ses victimes à l’approche de la mort.
Notes : pour ce film, métaphore de l’acte cinématographique, exploré sous son jour le plus violent (puisqu’ici la caméra viole et tue), le cinéaste Michael Powell a poussé la mise en abyme jusqu’à se donner le rôle du père manipulateur de Mark.
