Jonathan Demme

Haven't seen anything but that Lamb movie yet.


The Silence of the Lambs (1991) -- Although it didn't drive me absolutely nuts like it did the rest of the country, I still like this movie. Anything scene with Anthony Hopkins in it is worth the trip, maybe especially the first few seconds when we see him, the rigid way he's standing. I also think it's interesting how this is so much from Starling's point of view that the other characters are more or less looking right into the camera. The stares are one of the best things in the movie, stares from everyone. (See Ridley Scott for the sequel, The Silence of the Lambs.) B
