Silence of the Lambs
The Silence of the Lambs is probably one of the most well known thriller films, winning 5 Oscars, directed by Jonathan Demme in 1991, starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster . A young F.B.I. cadet must confide in an incarcerated and manipulative killer to receive his help on catching another serial killer who skins his victims. In the clip above, Hannibal Lector is explaining to Clarisse how he ate a man with 'fava beans and a nice Chianti' as he speaks to her from behind the glass walls of his prison cell. It has many conventions in a typical thriller such as the dark, monotone colours, the setting (in a prison) and the slow low pitched music.
