The Silence of the Lambs won the “big five” at the Oscars – Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenplay, the only film to do so after One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and It Happened One Night. So with sublime acting, spectacular cinematography ( especially those close ups of Lecter’s eyes that hypnotise and petrify you; he looks right at you, into you) , subtle metaphors bordering on genius along with a good dose of violence and “horror”, this 1991 psychological thriller is something you will never forget. Believe me, you don’t want Hannibal Lecter inside your head. but he’s going to end up there nevertheless.
