Haunting, intelligent, unforgettable.

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2002)

I, regretfully, saw Hannibal before Silence of the Lambs. But it of course made me want to see it. I went out and bought the DVD. Watched it. Then, watched it again. This is the kind of movie that gets under your skin and stays there. Anthony Hopkins delivers a staggering and realistic performance as Jodie Foster compliments his 'lead' in every way possible. I can't wait for Red Dragon. Definitely one of the most thoroughly enjoyable films I've ever seen. Since seeing it, I've gotten the moth (from the DVD cover) tattooed on my back. The movie itself enchants me. There's a fine line between genius and insane, Hannibal walks it without stumbling.
