Yes, it won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for MIFF Mid-Life Achievement Award honoree Jonathan Demme. Yes, “this superbly crafted suspense thriller slams you like a sudden blast of bone-chilling, pulse-pounding terror” (Rolling Stone). Yes, the central duel of wits between Jodie Foster’s FBI agent and Anthony Hopkins’ elegant cannibal serial killer showcases staggering talent from both actors. Any way you look at it, Demme’s great film, in some regards totally uncharacteristic of his often warm and supremely human work, is simply excellent moviemaking.
