Silence of the Lambs 4K 09/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

With this chilling adaptation of the best-selling novel by Thomas Harris, the astonishingly versatile director Jonathan Demme crafted a taut psychological thriller about an American obsession: serial murder. 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 traditional 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 gripping police procedural and a disquieting immersion into a twisted psyche, The Silence of the Lambs swept the Academy Awards® (Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, Actress, Actor) and remains a cultural touchstone. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES 4K digital restoration, supervised by director of photography Tak Fujimoto, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack Alternate 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the film and special features Audio commentary from 1994 featuring director Jonathan Demme, actors Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins, screenwriter Ted Tally, and former FBI agent John Douglas Interview with critic Maitland McDonagh Deleted scenes Interview from 2005 with Demme and Foster Four documentaries featuring hours of interviews with cast and crew Behind-the-scenes featurette Storyboards Trailer English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: An introduction by Foster; two essays, one by critic Amy Taubin and one by critics Caden Mark Gardner and Willow Catelyn Maclay; pieces from 2000 and 2013 by author Thomas Harris on the origins of the character Hannibal Lecter; and a 1991 interview with Demme
