The Silence of the Lambs (Criterion Collection Spine #13) Summary From Thomas Harris' Novel, Director Jonathan Demme Explodes And Reconstructs A Classic Genre, Laying A Foundation Of Emotional And Political Commitment Beneath A Perfectly Constructed Psychological Thriller. Fourteen Years After Her Controversial Role In taxi Driver, Jodie Foster Finally Makes The Transformation From Helpless Victim To Rescuing Hero In This Dark, Gender-bending Fairy Tale Of An American Obsession: Serial Murder. As Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter, Anthony Hopkins Is The Archetypal Antihero-cultured, Quick-witted, Uncontainable-a Portrait Of All The Sharpest Human Faculties Gone Diabolically Wrong. Winner Of Five Academy Awards®, Including Best Picture And Best Screenplay Adaptation For Ted Tally.

Based 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
