"I have to Go...I am having Someone Over for Dinner..."

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2013)

"The Silence of the Lambs" was the Best Picture in 1991. Its basic plot deals with a young ambitious female FBI cadet, Special Agent Starling, (Oscar-winner Jodie Foster) who is sent to interview a former psychiatrist, Dr Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), who has been imprisoned for being a convicted serial killer and cannibal.
Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins stars as Dr Lecter, A.K.A. 'Hannibal the Cannibal', in his greatest acting performance of his career. The novice FBI cadet, Special Agent Starling(Jodie Foster), is instructed by her Superior, to find out about one of Dr Lecter's former patients, a serial killer, named 'Buffalo Bill' (Ted Levine).
'Buffalo Bill' has been removing large diamond shaped strips of skin from his female victims after they die in order to sew together a suit of women's (victim's) skin. 'Buffalo Bill' thinks that he is a transsexual...and desires to be a woman.
The most engaging scenes of "The Silence of the Lambs" are the scenes between Dr Lecter(Hopkins) and Special Agent Starling (Foster). Hopkins steals every scene he is in, despite the fact he has only about 17 minutes of film time on screen. Needless to say the film takes many twists and turns, creating suspense and giving the 'film-goer' complete satisfaction at the end. 10 out of 10.
