Moscow Film Society: The Silence of the Lambs

Wednesday, July 17 at 7 PM

“For all the unbridled savagery on display, what is shrewd, significant and finally hopeful about Silence of the Lambs is the way it proves that a movie can be mercilessly scary and mercifully humane at the same time.”
— Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Moscow Film Society presents THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS as part of their Crime in the 90s series. 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 film that will leave you breathless and clawing at your arm chair is best experienced together on the big screen.
