A great movie based on a great book...

Rating: Null/10 (14 November 1998)

What more could be said of this movie outside of the facts that it was well-constructed, well-acted, and well-designed? I'm given to speculate, however, why does Johnathan Demme have a few of the same actors in all of his movies? I've seen three or four of them in "Silence," "Philadelphia," and now "Beloved." Are these members of the Demme family, or just evidence of director devotion to his actors? Does anyone know?
