El Fotógrafo del Pánico
En Un Siglo de Cine repasamos una de las pel culas más populares del director británico Michael Powell. "PEEPING TOM", "EL FOTÓGRAFO DEL PÁNICO", inauguró el camino hacia el cine pop de la segunda mitad de los años 60 y mostró, una vez más, el ecléctico talento de su creador.
Un chico excesivamente tímido conoce a su vecina de abajo. Ella no se imagina que, en realidad, entre otras muchas cosas, él es su casero. Éste es uno de los momentos clave de la historia de "PEEPING TOM", la película firmada en 1960 por Michael Powell, el británico de ecléctica carrera que compaginó sus costosos films para el magnate de la Rank, con la ayuda de Emeric Pressburger, con la colaboración y el apoyo, en sus últimos años, de Martin Scorsese. "LAS ZAPATILLAS ROJAS" y "UNA CUESTIÓN DE VIDA O MUERTE" son quiz s sus pelìculas más conocidas. Pero "EL FOTÓGRAFO DEL PÁNICO" forma también parte de la historia del cine: por su colosal mezcla de thriller y drama, por anunciar nuevos aires en la estética del cine británico del momento y por perpetrar un estudio psicológico acertado acerca del voyeurismo.
A translation by language software :-
The Fotographer of Panic d. Michael Powell, 1960
In A Century Of Cinema we should not overlook [cunning Spanish pun??] one of the most acclaimed works of the British director Michael Powell. "PEEPING TOM" ("FOTOGRAFO DEL PANICO") [sp?] Was this a step towards the pop cinema of the second half of the 1960's? It is certainly a testament to the eclectic talent of its creator.
[... the next couple of sentences are not comprehensible to the software I've used]
This was one of the Rank company's most expensive films [no it wasn't!]. Powell worked mainly in collaboration with Emeric Pressburger and has been championed [or words to that effect] by Martin Scorsese. Better known films are "THE RED SLIPPERS" [sic - the software's fault not the author's I'm sure] and "A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH". "FOTOGRAFO DEL PANICO" [or whatever] takes its place in the history of the cinema on account of its colossal [??] mixture of thriller and drama, for it's ushering in a new era in British cinema history, it's [??] psychological study and it's exposure of voyeurism.
