- "Voyeurism is not just one of the primary tools of cinema, but of written fiction too."
Voyeurism in fiction
- Voyeurism is something of a clichéd plot device in cinematic fiction, for instance in Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. Other examples include Fame and Porky's. Voyeurism is also shown for a brief period in other films, such as Amélie.
- Voyeurism was the main subject of the 1991 book (and its 1993 film adaptation) Sliver, where the owner of an apartment tower used a video surveillance system to spy on his tenants, often (but not always) for sexual gratification.
- The book Hell by Henri Barbusse focuses entirely on the story of a voyeur.
- A serious psychological treatment of the topic in cinema was done in Peeping Tom.
- The anime Colorful is devoted almost entirely to the paraphilia.
- The novel The Voyeur by Alberto Moravia deals with voyeurism in literature.
