Movie Reviews of The Silence of the Lambs (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Wow
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite movie ever. With Jodie Foster as the vulnerable Clarice Starling, and Anthony Hopkins as the deadly Hannibal Lector it is not something you can afford to miss. Best movie by far, I am in love.
Summary of The Silence of the Lambs (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins deliver sensational Oscar?-winning* performances in this 'shockingly powerful thriller (New York). 'stunning (Los Angeles Times) and 'spellbinding (The Hollywood Reporter) this terrifying masterpiece garnered* five Academy Awards? including Best Picture. A psychopath nicknamed Buffalo Bill is murdering women across the Midwest. Believing it takes one to know one the FBI sends Agent Clarice Starling (Foster) to interview a demented prisoner who may provide clues to the killer's actions. That prisoner ispsychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins) a brilliant diabolical cannibal who agrees to help Starling only if she'll feed his morbid curiosity with details of her own complicated life. As their relationship develops Starling is forced to confront not only her own hidden demons but also an evilso powerful that she may not have the courageor strengthto stop it! *1991: Director Actor (Hopkins) Actress (Foster) Adapted ScreenplayDisc 1:FEATURE FILMDisc 2:SPECIAL FEATURESInside the Labyrinth: Making of The Silence of the LambsThe Silence of the Lambs: Page to Screen (2 Part Documentary)Jonathan Demme & Jodie Foster (3 Part Documentary)Scoring the SilenceOriginal 1991 Making Of FeaturetteDeleted ScenesOuttakes ReelAnthony Hopkins Phone MessageTV SpotsPhoto GalleryTheatrical TrailerTeaser TrailerOther MGM TrailersSystem Requirements:Run Time: 118 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE/THRILLERS Rating:?R UPC:?027616065841 Manufacturer No:?M106584Based on Thomas Harris's novel, this terrifying film by Jonathan Demme really only contains a couple of genuinely shocking moments (one involving an autopsy, the other a prison break). The rest of the film is a splatter-free visual and psychological descent into the hell of madness, redeemed astonishingly by an unlikely connection between a monster and a haunted young woman. Anthony Hopkins is extraordinary as the cannibalistic psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter, virtually entombed in a subterranean prison for the criminally insane. At the behest of the FBI, agent-in-training Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) approaches Lecter, requesting his insights into the identity and methods of a serial killer named Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine). In exchange, Lecter demands the right to penetrate Starling's most painful memories, creating a bizarre but palpable intimacy that liberates them both under separate but equally horrific circumstances. Demme, a filmmaker with a uniquely populist vision (Melvin and Howard, Something Wild), also spent his early years making pulp for Roger Corman (Caged Heat), and he hasn't forgotten the significance of tone, atmosphere, and the unsettling nature of a crudely effective close-up. Much of the film, in fact, consists of actors staring straight into the camera (usually from Clarice's point of view), making every bridge between one set of eyes to another seem terribly dangerous. --Tom Keogh
