"Voyeurism is not just one of the primary tools of cinema, but of written fiction too."

Voyeurism in fiction

  • 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.
  • A serious psychological treatment of the topic in cinema was done in Peeping Tom.
