The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Movie
The Silence of the Lambs
8.6/10on IMDbReleased
Dawn Baillie's pale Jodie Foster portrait places a moth across the mouth, turning an ordinary publicity close-up into an image of obstructed speech. The insect's skull-like detail adds a second, smaller encounter with mortality. Your eye moves from the direct stare to the covered lips and then into that hidden image. Seek out this original portrait design for a lesson in building unease through one precise intervention.

About The Silence of the Lambs

Clarice Starling is a top student at the FBI's training academy. Jack Crawford wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.
