The most suggestive film I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2000)

The first horror film that won 5 Academy Awards... And this is the movie that was worthy of it! This is a movie that changed our thoughts in connection with thrillers: a horror movie can be clever, very breathtaking and can cause catarsis.The plot is excellent, not just the script but the book is first-class too; the actors are brilliant: Jodie Foster in the role of Clarice Starling is so sensitive and so fragile and vulnerable; Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter is so calm and he is a such a cold-blooded killer that we can hardly stay relaxed in our armchairs...(Remember the scene where he kills the 2 cops and than listens to classical music...) Jonathan Demme directed very well: he knew what to do to feel claustrophobia in the prison-scenes, and to be afraid when we are in the house of the serial-killer. My favorite scene is the last action sequence: Clarice cannot see anything, but the killer sees her: and what comes after, knows everyone. If you don't know what comes after, you have to check it out... The best thriller from the 90's!
