As far as how much I enjoyed this film, I would give four stars -- above average; it had depressing elements yet remained quite engaging throughout; it was rich in detail without sacrificing pace; the fifth star is for the final 20 minutes of this movie, which truly frighten me. I am still a bit jittery after watching it! Worth mentioning, 'Silence of the Lambs' stands on its own as a film without 'Red Dragon' or others. There's a 1-star review on the front page that picks this movie apart, and it makes a couple decent points and a couple bad ones (several of these 'issues' were explicitly treated in the movie and can be resolved if one watches closely). I think the main point is the unlikely premise: a trainee becomes involved in a really high-profile (& perilous) case; for all we can tell this is a lark, because a senior agent has some reason to suspect that a serial killer he'd helped capture before may hold the key to secrets in the mind of a fellow killer -- something along these lines -- and the upshot of this trainee's involvement (and some innate skill, or else there would be no story) being that she ends up chasing the killer herself. The way things are run in this country, such events would never transpire*; agencies only increase their chokeholds on stability over time, hoping to prevent the occurrence of the unexpected. If a trainee were thrown into the field like this, the results would be impossible to predict. However fiction provides a flexible vehicle, and this is a fictional story of a very risky bid. It is not meant to be historical fiction, but horror, therefore this unrealistic element is more of a strength than a weakness (it is both). I don't want to give a lot of the ending away, but there is something totally unnecessary which is cinematically brilliant. This movie is rather gross yet it doesn't feature much gore. It takes its time with a few scenes that upset some innate desire for psychic equilibrium, and it succeeds in being highly disturbing. It touches all of the primal fears I can think of off the top of my head: sudden loss of sight, suffering in the dark, being trapped in pain, desperation of others, screaming, the pliability of human flesh, sacrifice of innocence, insanity, sudden realization that a situation is quite a lot more dangerous than anticipated, mazes, a tortured mind becoming a torturer. This movie contains a lot of prejudice, but almost none of it is senseless. At its best, it points a finger at society. The most brilliant themes (without spoilers) are Lecter's notion of decency and its probable etiology, and observation vs voyeurism. I really liked 'Silence of the Lambs,' so I'm not writing a very smart review, but this is a movie I will want to watch again. *a tragedy, perhaps

Jonathan Demme is such an incredible director, so able to work on different genres and always so great in refreshing them with a personal touch. It is not a matter of turning each genre upside down, but to reinforce it, being at the same time faithful and innovative. That's what he did with comedies (Something Wild and Married to the Mob), drama (Philadelphia), romance (Rachel getting married, maybe his masterpiece). And with documentaries, which represent his alter-life (Man from Plains, Caroline Parker, Swimming to Cambodia, The Agronomist) and, by looking at films like Silence of the Lambs, they seem to be made by another director. Silence of the lambs is one of the best thriller and serial killer films ever done. Not as fascinating and disturbing as Manhunter (which belongs to the same saga) or Peeping Tom, but it is definitely the best Hollywood could do. Under his masterful direction, Demme transformed an apparently genre film in a oscar winning success, relaunched Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins who found in this film the turning point of their career, and marked the imagination and collective consciousness of the last 25 years. This film is a diabolique mix of ancestral fears, intriguing plot and twist, and a constant subtext about the struggle of a woman in a man's world. Demme does not show off but wisely uses photography, acting and editing (the twist in the sequence of the final irruption is a perfect example of refreshing use of parallel editing) to engage and drag us into the story. No special effect: just great cinema. On a pretty good blu ray, which only lacks of some video definition, but it is watchable and enjoyable anyway.

Llego en perfectas condiciones. OJO, no trae Audio ni Subtítulos en CASTELLANO.

FBI sends trainee Clarice Starling to interview prisoner Psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter, who may provide clues to Buffalo Bill and his actions. Fantastic movie 🎥 with great actors 🎭

La calidad de video mejora, 4k respecto al DVD, el film original parece que uso grano grueso (en cuanto a calidad fotográfica). En efecto NO tiene doblaje NI subtítulos al español. Tendré que practicar más el inglés. Para mí vale la pena.
