Year1991

Duration118min.

Dr Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist and psychopath with a cannibalistic background, has been in the maximum security wing of a psychiatric prison for years. The young FBI policewoman Clarice Starling is assigned to him to find out more about the motivation of a killer who kills and skins his victims. Lecter agrees to co-operate, but on one condition: For every piece of information he gives Clarice, he will learn a private detail from her. The beginning of a strangely intimate and highly dangerous relationship ... The thriller, which was perfectly staged in every respect and made Hopkins an icon as a charismatic offal fan, won in the five main categories: Oscar for the two actors (in whose casting Pleskow played a significant role), screenplay, direction and best film.
