The Silence of The Lambs
Watch the 30th anniversary screening of Jonathan Demme’s atmospheric
horror masterpiece. A disturbing Halloween classic that taps into a lasting
cultural fascination with serial killers, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS is
one of just three films ever to win all of the “big five” Oscars in 1992: Best
Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor and Actress
in a Leading Role (Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins).
Jodie Foster stars as Clarice Starling, a top student at the FBI’s training
academy. Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn) wants Clarice to interview Dr.
Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant forensic psychiatrist and
cannibalistic serial killer, serving a life sentence. Crawford believes that
Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young
woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.
