Story Thomas Harris

Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins will likely be forever associated with their roles in this bone-chilling masterpiece, based on the novel by Thomas Harris and directed by Jonathan Demme. FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Foster) is sent by her supervisor (Scott Glenn) to interview ferociously intelligent serial killer Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lechter (Hopkins) at his cell in a Maryland mental hospital. The FBI hopes Lechter can provide insight into the mind of killer-at-large, Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine), whose current abductee happens to be the daughter of a senator. Intrigued by Clairice, Lechter demands information about her personal life and in exchange for clues, and the two begin to form a strangely intimate connection, with a girl's life hanging in the balance. Starling is gradually revealed as a woman struggling out of her own darkness, bound to aid the dysfunctional males around her on their own paths of transformation, liberation, and destruction. This is a film of brilliant and disturbing beauty that transcends its B-movie origins (though it does honor them with a cameo appearance by Roger Corman). Its enduring influence has led to a slew of similarly dark-toned serial killer films, and a sequel, HANNIBAL (2001).

Theatrical release: February 13, 1991. Filmed on location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC. Shooting began on November 15, 1989, and wrapped on March 1, 1990. Estimated budget: $19 million. THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS is number 65 on the American Film Institute's list of America's 100 Greatest Movies. To perfect the voice of Hannibal, Anthony Hopkins based his speech on the dry voice of the Hal 9000 computer from 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Hopkins won the Best Actor Oscar despite being in the film for no more than 30 minutes, the shortest screen appearance for any Best Actor winner. THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS actually features the second screen appearance of Hannibal Lecter. Played by Brian Cox, the character first appears in Michael Mann's MANHUNTER, which is based on the Thomas Harris novel RED DRAGON. Roger Corman plays FBI Director Hayden Burke in the film. Demme regular Charles Napier plays Boyle. Chris Isaak appears briefly as a SWAT commander. Try to catch how many times Anthony Hopkins blinks in various scenes.... The sequel, HANNIBAL, opened on February 9, 2001. Ridley Scott took over the direction, and Julianne Moore played Clarice Starling instead of Jodie Foster. Hopkins again played Hannibal, deliciously.

Silence of the Lambs Quotes/Excerpts:

"Believe me, you don't want Hannibal Lecter inside your head."--Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn) "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti."--Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins); the classic sucking sound Hopkins made after this line was ad-libbed "I do wish we could chat a little longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner."--Hannibal Lecter

Silence of the Lambs Reviews:

"LAMBS remains a great film. A groundbreaking film." -- Grade: A -- Jeff Labrecque, Entertainment Weekly

"...Hopkins' performance may be the film's bravura showpiece, but Foster's goes the whole distance, steadfast, controlled, heartbreakingly insightful, a fine addition to her gallery of characterizations..." -- Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times

"Hopkins's portrayal of the world's most urbane serial killer is a wonder of both actorly invention and villainous instinct." -- Premiere Staff, Premiere

4 stars out of 5 -- "[S]till the definitive upmarket serial killer thriller, achieving the almost unprecedented feat of winning all five major Oscar categories..." -- Stephen Dalton, Uncut

5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] rare horror that transcends the genre and has arguably become a modern classic."-- Simon Edwards, Ultimate DVD

"...Superbly crafted....THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS slams you like a sudden blast of bone-chilling, pulse-pounding terror..." -- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

"...A sombre masterpiece....The film creates a world drained of light, counterpointed by a sinister and unsettling score..." -- Lizzie Francke, Sight and Sound

"...[A] superbly crafted, unsettling movie....Demme pumps up the tension to a deafening din..." -- 4 out of 4 stars -- Mike Clark, USA Today

5 stars One of the BEST movies of all time
If I were asked to provide a vote of my top (3) favorite movies, Silence of the Lambs would be number (1). EVERYONE gave an OSCAR winning performance, as far as I'm concerned. I've seen it numerous times and will continue to see it again and again. This purchase was actually for my brother who has an extensive DVD library, however, he loaned this one to a "friend" & was never returned.

AIMEE & JAGUAR’s Max Faerberboeck directs this gripping drama set in the days after Russia’s invasion of Berlin in 1945. Anonyma (Nina Hoss, YELLA) is surrounded by women, children, and men too weak or old to fight in the war, and there is no one to defend her from the ravenous appetites of the invading army. After she and many of the women around her are raped, Anonyma picks Russian soldier Andrej (Evgeny Sidikhin) to be her protector, and they come to a compromise: if she has sex with him, he will keep her from his fellow men. Anonyma and Andrej embark on a strange relationship, and despite the appearance of affection, there is never any doubt of their positions in the world and the war. Based on an international bestseller, A WOMAN IN BERLIN also stars Irm Hermann, Rudiger Vogler, and Juliane Koehler. English Subtitles

D.H. Lawrence's controversial novel is brought to life by the makers of the soft-core classic EMANUELLE. Sylvia Kristel stars as Lady Constance Chatterly, an English lady whose husband is has been injured in WWI and is now confined to a wheelchair. He is also impotent as a result of his injuries, and consents to his wife's endeavors to find satisfaction elsewhere. Despite her love for her husband, Lady Chatterly's physical desires lead her to engage in a steamy affair with her gruff groundskeeper (Nicholas Clay). An HBO staple in the early 1980s, the film is notable for its surprisingly good acting considering its B-movie status, as well as its beautiful locations and the chemistry between the leads, neither of whom are shy about nudity.

Silence of the Lambs review
DVD $6.55  3.7 stars
In Francois Ozon's SWIMMING POOL, Charlotte Rampling plays Sarah Morton, a prim and proper British author who has written a successful series of mystery-crime novels. However, when she visits her London publisher (Charles Dance) in a dour mood, wearing a depressive pout, and complains that she's no longer his favorite, he invites her to use his vacation home in the south of France as a tranquil escape to try her hand at writing something different. Once there, Sarah receives an unexpected and highly unwelcome visit from his bold, sexy, confrontational teenage daughter Julie (Ludivine Sagnier). The two are instantly at odds with each other, as Julie drinks, smokes, and slinks around the pool topless. Her loose sexual mores and mysterious late nights infuriate Sarah, whose puritanical unease is only exacerbated in Julie's presence. Wonderful scenes of Sarah writing at her computer, her lips twitching wickedly with twisted inspiration, indicate that the story is about to take a turn for the weird. And that it does, quickly, as booze-clouded activities by the swimming pool become dark and seedy. In this immaculate thriller, Rampling and Sagnier ignite the screen with static tension. Stunted conversations, resentful glances, and strange insights about the personality of each character give the story a tangible electricity. The idyllic vacation home and sun-drenched swimming pool put an ironic spin on the haunting story. And as Ozon works his magic with pensive camerawork, providing moments of true visual comedy that only enhance the plot's intrigue, viewers will delight in what is at once an understated yet powerful narrative feat.

This is the first screen version of Bram Stoker's famous tale based on the smash hit stage production. Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi) arrives in London and immediately works to enrapture and transform into vampires young Lucy Weston (Frances Dade) and her friend Mina Seward (Helen Chandler). After he succeeds in turning Lucy, and Mina's health suddenly deteriorates, Mina's father (Herbert Bunston), calls in a specialist, Professor Abraham Van Helsing (Edward Van Sloan). Van Helsing quickly recognizes Dracula's vampirism, and sets about saving Mina (and in the process, becomes Dracula's archenemy). The film, arguably the most influential of the legend's film versions, launched Lugosi's career in horror movies and forever invited vampires across Hollywood's threshold.
