Product Description

In this chilling adaptation of the best-selling novel by Thomas Harris, the astonishingly versatile director Jonathan Demme crafted a taut psychological thriller about an American obsession: serial murder. As Clarice Starling, an FBI trainee who enlists the help of the infamous Hannibal the Cannibal Lecter to gain insight into the mind of another killer, Jodie Foster subverts classic gender dynamics and gives one of the most memorable performances of her career. As her foil, Anthony Hopkins is the archetypal antihero cultured, quick-witted, and savagely murderous delivering a harrowing portrait of humanity gone terribly wrong. A gripping police procedural and a disquieting immersion into a twisted psyche, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS swept the Academy Awards (best picture, director, screenplay, actress, actor) and remains a cultural touchstone.

I compared this version to the Kino Lorber 4k and I love this Criterion version better for the packaging and extras not on the kino Lorber and even though the Kino is slightly better due to being a true 4k, this 1080p 4k scan on the original film negative pops with more color in some scenes and is right there with the Kino 4k. I have both, but love this Criterion better from a total packaging stand point ... can't go wrong with either one....

5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish serial killer slasher fare, elevated by Oscar-winning performance of Anthony Hopkins
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2018

BOTTOM LINE: Gory horror has never done much for me, but it's hard not to admire this brutal, bloody film. Stylish direction from Jonathan Demme and a star-making performance by Anthony Hopkins combine to deliver much more than just a creepy film about a creepy freak. Hopkins simply makes this movie. My wife is a huge fan of the film and this was a B-day gift for her. She loves it and, truthfully, so do I. 5 STARS

THOUGHTS: An Oscar-winning motion picture that prominently features an insane doctor who kills & eats his patients(!). Gut-wrenching horror films don't get much classier than this. This film is as close as something like THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE will ever get to grabbing an Academy Award. Anthony Hopkins, a long-time workaday actor, suddenly found himself 'discovered' and was rocketed to near superstar status when he walked away with an Oscar for his work as Hannibal Lector. And deservedly so. His Lector is one of the most skin-crawling, unnervingly chilling villains in screen history. It's not a far stretch to suggest that the plethora of roles he nabbed following his work in SotL would never have happened were it not for this film. Director Jonathan Demme, who has a long career of music videos, TV work, mainstream films and a surprising number of documentaries, truly made a name for himself with this piece. It takes a certain flair to turn such grisly stuff into acceptable product for the masses, and not lose the jagged edge in the process. Jodie Foster, in an excellent turn as emotionally damaged FBI agent Clarice Starling, had a brief re-ignition of her acting career thanks to this picture. Everything about the film clicks. It's amazingly well done, and even though the subject matter is understandably off-putting, it's hard not to be drawn in to the grim proceedings. Though you'll never be able to think of Chianti and fava beans the same way again. ;-)

THE CRITERION BLU-RAY: As one would normally expect from upper-tier outfit Criterion, this hi-def release is a first class effort. First off, the film itself has received a spectacular 4k restoration & remastering, overseen by the film's DOP, Tak Fujimoto. It also gets a nice 5.1 stereo upgrade for the audio. The picture & sound are excellent, with no video or audio gremlins to spoil the viewing experience. There's a wealth of great bonus content for moviephiles and Lambs fans, including the terrific audio commentary track from 1994 with most of the main cast & crew. There are four documentaries, almost 40 minutes' worth of deleted scenes, storyboards, and more. An impressive effort and all of it good stuff. If you've been holding out for the best possible home video edition of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, I'm pretty confident you won't find a better one than Criterion's edition. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best edition of a multi oscar winning modern serial killer story that is very intense.
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2019

Great restoration (1080p downscaled from a 4k scan of the original 35mm film negative). One of the only films to win the top 5 Oscars of that year. A suspenseful no holds barred story about an FBI rookie and her pursuit of a mentally complex serial killer. This put anthony Hopkins back on the map as the imprisoned uber intellectual and sneaky psychiatrist who the FBI seek assistance from tl profile the serial killer on the loose. This movie is commercial of course but the late director jonathan demme makes some very artful sequences that are unforgettable and make this film a perfect entry into the hallowed criterion collection (for example, the musical cross dressing dressing up sequence of the killer at his home- classic). Jodie foster as the fbi recruit is mapped out in detail and is quite the character. The interaction between her and Hopkins' creepy game playing make the audience feel vulnerable as well. The usual choice of digital film scanner that criterion's been using as of the past few years is noticeable here....its a medium thickness of brightness with perfect undistracting grain and a soft but not weak contrast scale. Hence balanced and not bad on the eyes; .and this way it yields more detail in terms of sharpness. Tak fujimoto's cinematography makes thing dark when they need to be, at all levels. The hi res surround sound is perfect...enveloping music and not distracting directional audio. The remixed and updated version beats the original mix by far...more drama is intensified. A great psychological art horror film that puts a microscope on vulnerable Americana- from intellects to nerds to white trash to the unbelieveable.

国内版があまりに不評なので、字幕がないのを承知でクライテリオン版を購入しました。結果、大満足でした。ジョディ・フォスターの肌状態までくっきりです。何度も観ている映画なので、字幕がなくてもそれほど困りませんでしたし、かえって画面に集中でき、名優二人の白熱の演技合戦の凄さを改めて堪能できました。いやはや、とてつもなく名作です。国内のメーカーも、リマスター版を出してくれたらいいのに…。
