Episode 57: THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
This week we delve into Jonathan Demme's 1991 thriller The Silence of the Lambs. Jodie Foster plays an FBI student tasks with interviewing the infamous serial killer Hannibal the Cannibal Lector, in the hopes of gathering clues to help find an at-large killer.
Lector is, of course, played by Anthony Hopkins in perhaps his most iconic role. Not for the faint of heart, The Silence of the Lambs won the Best Picture prize and ranks #13 on our countdown.*
Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court.
Come back next week for a bit of a change of pace, The Best Years of Our Lives from 1946.
*What is this list?
We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
