📖 Synopsis
FBI trainee agent Clarice Starling is sent to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a psychiatrist and imprisoned cannibalistic killer, to obtain information about Buffalo Bill, a serial murderer who skins his victims. In 1991, Jonathan Demme directed the most awarded psychological thriller in history—winning five Oscars, including Best Picture—and the dialogue between Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins created the most intense interrogation dynamic in American cinema.
✍️ Our review
9.3/10
★★★★★
The Silence of the Lambs remains the definitive psychological thriller. The Starling-Lecter dynamic is masterful: two minds that need and fear each other. Anthony Hopkins delivered an Oscar-winning performance in just twelve minutes of screen time.
