A Perfect Motion Picture

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 1999)

I read the book a few months ago. Then I saw the movie. The movie is better than the book. And it gets better with every viewing.
Like Anthony Hopkins, who plays Dr. Hannibal Lecter once said, the Silence of the Lambs is a fairy tale. It has the qualities of a great epic. It is the young FBI trainee Clarice Starling's self-reflective quest to defeat a great evil. Dr. Lecter is the dark angel whom she must consult to learn how to go about her mission.
Everything about this movie is perfect. The score is haunting, the poster is harrowing, the movie stupefying. Watch it watch it watch it.
