\\ THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (USA, 1991) Jonathan Demme

I went to see the movie just came out, just twenty years ago ... but I confess that I do not remember much of that 'first time', also because I saw only half. Why the other half kept my eyes closed and ears plugged. Yes, I was nineteen years old and below me I fear. The only reason I was in that room was the presence of Jodie Foster, even then my favorite actress. Only after (many) other visions that I realized that movie made me so scared he could be considered, without exaggeration, a film 'momentous'. An absolute masterpiece. Moreover, a true visual experience, and (mostly) psychological, the sort that 'mark' a person and, unequivocally, the open eyes. Even in an age when sbruffoncello ...

Twenty years have passed but the emotional charge of this incredible, unbelievable film is almost intact. It 's true that we are now accustomed to everything, that we live in a society so sick exactly As this film we had predicted that certain events that fill pages of newspapers and television tell us that there are many Hannibal Lecter in this world. But this film is unique, because of the evil force that releases and the subjective 'forces' the viewer to put themselves on the same level of the murderer, to observe without being seen panting in the darkness of their prey.
The Silence of the Lambs is a treatise on insanity, a dissertation on horror and human stupidity, shot as a psychological thriller that, through an obsessive and excessive use of close-ups and depth of field, beyond the limits of endurance and it stuns with sequences of unbearable tension, accompanied by masterfully musicaledi Howard Shore score.

Paradoxically, but not too much, think about it we can say that The Silence of the Lambs follows the spirit and the basic idea of \u200b\u200bthis blog, as if he were complementary as Solaris wants to convince us that you do not need to flee elsewhere to get rid of their phobias, Demme's film tells us that the horror is mostly within ourselves, in the privacy of our thoughts, and that all of us, first, we are guilty of the wickedness of the world around us. A vision grim, apocalyptic, but seeing the film we have to say extremely convincing.

To all this must be added, of course, the extraordinary performance of the leading actors. Jodie Foster is wonderful, moving portrait of the young recruits who agree to be 'raped' in your subconscious to save innocent lives. His Clarice Starling is one of the most beautiful female roles ever, and certainly Michelle Pfeiffer (the 'first choice' for Demme, who then declined the part) you will still be eating your hands for that refusal. of Anthony Hopkins there is little to say, this role is been for him at the same time a triumph and a conviction: the character of Hannibal the Cannibal 's has stuck to him forever, and the half-hour in which it appears in the film is more than enough to show us as one of the most famous , horrible and fascinating at the same time in the history of cinema.
