The Silence of the Lambs (1990)
Country: US
Technical: col 118m
Director: Jonathan Demme
Cast: Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Scott Glenn
Synopsis:
An FBI trainee is sent on a routine-looking mission to sound an imprisoned serial killer, Hannibal Lecter. He may in fact know something about a new spate of killings by the so-dubbed Buffalo Bill, who skins his victims.
Review:
A chilling two-hander whose protagonists are thus invulnerable, but which succeeds nonetheless in sustaining a fair degree of suspense over its considerable length while also being an absorbing dip into the more exotic manifestations of evil. It started a trend for this sort of thing.
