The Silence of the Lambs

Worst. Save money

Thank you so much I havé received my package !

Chegou dentro do prazo, mas numa embalagem muito fraca , as extremidades vieram um pouco amassadas

The rating is not about the movie itself, which I imagine everyone, by now, knows is at least 9/10 if not 10/10. Video quality: the best transfer to date. Some scenes are still quite grainy but, I believe that is because of the original film quality. Audio quality: Excellent! Besides the excellent original 2.0 soundtrack, there is a new dts-HD MA5.1 soundtrack which is also excellent. Now, for the one major disappointment (SPOILER ALERT!!! for those who have never seen the movie): I was hoping the sequence of shots between the FBI raid on the house outside Chicago and Jame Gumb opening the door to Clarice would have been the same as on the Criterion Laserdisc release which, to me, is superior to the sequence of shots in the theatrical release and also this Blu-ray. That is the only reason I rate it a 4/5 stars and not higher.

憶えていますでしょうか。 かつてクライテリオン初のＴＨＸ ＬＤとして発売されたのが この「羊たちの沈黙」でした。 3管式のプロジェクターでご堪能された諸氏も多いのではと思います。 今回発売されたブルーレイもまた、その時の感動を与えてくれました。 発色やグラデーションに独自の落ち着きがあり、ああこれが映画なんだなと あらためて実感をしてしまいました。 グレインも楽しみましょうと教えてくれました。 解像度も良くて時おりハッとする遠近感・立体感が堪能できます。 ビットレートも高いです。 特に恐怖すら感じたのが、序盤の地下牢でのハンニバルとクラリスの対面シーン。 その時のふたりの瞳の妖しい輝きかた。 一見の価値があります。 迷っている方は即買いですよ。

BOTTOM LINE: Gory horror has never done much for me, but it's hard not to admire this brutal, bloody film. Stylish direction from Jonathan Demme and a star-making performance by Anthony Hopkins combine to deliver much more than just a creepy film about a creepy freak. Hopkins simply makes this movie. My wife is a huge fan of the film and this was a B-day gift for her. She loves it and, truthfully, so do I. 5 STARS THOUGHTS: An Oscar-winning motion picture that prominently features an insane doctor who kills & eats his patients(!). Gut-wrenching horror films don't get much classier than this. This film is as close as something like THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE will ever get to grabbing an Academy Award. Anthony Hopkins, a long-time workaday actor, suddenly found himself 'discovered' and was rocketed to near superstar status when he walked away with an Oscar for his work as Hannibal Lector. And deservedly so. His Lector is one of the most skin-crawling, unnervingly chilling villains in screen history. It's not a far stretch to suggest that the plethora of roles he nabbed following his work in SotL would never have happened were it not for this film. Director Jonathan Demme, who has a long career of music videos, TV work, mainstream films and a surprising number of documentaries, truly made a name for himself with this piece. It takes a certain flair to turn such grisly stuff into acceptable product for the masses, and not lose the jagged edge in the process. Jodie Foster, in an excellent turn as emotionally damaged FBI agent Clarice Starling, had a brief re-ignition of her acting career thanks to this picture. Everything about the film clicks. It's amazingly well done, and even though the subject matter is understandably off-putting, it's hard not to be drawn in to the grim proceedings. Though you'll never be able to think of Chianti and fava beans the same way again. ;-) THE CRITERION BLU-RAY: As one would normally expect from upper-tier outfit Criterion, this hi-def release is a first class effort. First off, the film itself has received a spectacular 4k restoration & remastering, overseen by the film's DOP, Tak Fujimoto. It also gets a nice 5.1 stereo upgrade for the audio. The picture & sound are excellent, with no video or audio gremlins to spoil the viewing experience. There's a wealth of great bonus content for moviephiles and Lambs fans, including the terrific audio commentary track from 1994 with most of the main cast & crew. There are four documentaries, almost 40 minutes' worth of deleted scenes, storyboards, and more. An impressive effort and all of it good stuff. If you've been holding out for the best possible home video edition of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, I'm pretty confident you won't find a better one than Criterion's edition. Recommended.
