Synopsis

In this multiple Oscar-winning thriller, Jodie Foster stars as Clarice Starling, a top student at the FBI's training academy whose shrewd analyses of serial killers lands her a special assignment: the FBI is investigating a vicious murderer nicknamed Buffalo Bill, who kills young women and then removes the skin from their bodies. Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn) wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into this case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out. Lecter does indeed know something of Buffalo Bill, but his information comes with a price: in exchange for telling what he knows, he wants to be housed in a more comfortable facility. More important, he wants to speak with Clarice about her past. He skillfully digs into her psyche, forcing her to reveal her innermost traumas and putting her in a position of vulnerability when she can least afford to be weak. The film mingles the horrors of criminal acts with the psychological horrors of Lecter's slow-motion interrogation of Clarice and of her memories that emerge from it. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

The Silence of the Lambs: AMG Review
Richard Gilliam , AMG

The only horror film to win a Best Picture Oscar, The Silence of the Lambs was released early in the year by a company (Orion) that went bankrupt and could not afford a significant award campaign for the film. For these reasons, it is among the least typical of Oscar-winning Best Pictures, a distinctive incidence of good filmmaking winning out over movies with more studio promotion behind them. It succeeds almost entirely due to the performance of Anthony Hopkins as cannibal serial killer Hannibal Lecter. Indeed, both co-star Jodie Foster and director Jonathan Demme took home Oscars largely for having had the good sense to allow Hopkins to dominate the film. Hopkins' Best Actor award notwithstanding, Lecter is only a supporting character, onscreen for less than a third of the film. The central story, about the search by a young FBI agent (Foster) for a different serial killer, Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine), is considerably less interesting, though Foster does an admirable job of bringing credibility to a convincing showdown sequence. ~ Richard Gilliam, All Movie Guide

The Silence of the Lambs: AMG Review
Mark Deming , AMG

With Silence of the Lambs, director Jonathan Demme and screenwriter Ted Tally, working from the Thomas Harris novel, peel back the layers on the horrors of everyday life and childhood, which begin to loom as large as their villain Hannibal Lecter's more outlandish crimes. Justice is served, but we feel no safer as a result. The Silence of the Lambs won all five major Academy awards, one of only three films in history to do so (the others were It Happened One Night (1934) and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)). Jodie Foster's tightly wound Clarice and Anthony Hopkins' Chianti-and-fava-bean-loving Lecter have become classic movie performances, and the film has taken its place as one of the most complicated and unnerving psychological horror movies. Horror films fans will also want to keep an eye peeled for cameos by directors George A. Romero and Roger Corman. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
