Considering the film’s impact in 2021
Vanity Fair
Jodie remarked, “It’s striking how [intense the movie is], considering there isn’t much blood or gore. There’s barely even one truly gory scene.”
‘The movie is so scary because it seeps into people’s consciousness through fears. It really works on fear more than anything else.’
Anthony looked back at how the memorable moment of him appearing in the jail cell was created.
‘I recall the moment when Jonathan inquired about how I wished to be unveiled during my first time in the prison cell.’
‘It was Monday, January 9th, 1990, and he asked, “The shot will feature Jodie walking down the hallway. How do you prefer to appear? Standing, reading, sleeping, or what?” I replied, “No, I’d rather be standing.”
‘”Where?” I asked, “In the middle of the cell.” “Why?” I continued, “I can smell her.” He replied, “You’re insane,”‘ he remembered.
“The Silence of the Lambs” is available on Amazon Prime Video up to June 1st.
