A young cameraman shoots his own movie about the allure of observation and death. Carl Bohem is the silent, disquieting protagonist. Moira Shearer is the extra who dances the nth dance of death. Powell is the scientist father in the home movies. A distressing song about the obsession of filming and looking. The cursed masterpiece, an instant cult movie, which ended Powell’s career.
