When I view an older film, one of the thoughts involved is always "does it stand the test of time?"
Sometimes I'm reviewing for quality, and sample twenty minutes of so of content, and in other situations a film stands that test so well that I forget that there’s another film on the stack to be reviewed.
That's the case with Johnathan Demme's thirty year-old police procedural thriller, The Silence of the Lambs.
Everything about this film is of such a high standard that it's akin to a book one can't put down.
In the case of Kino new 4k of the MGM production, everything is in the correct place.
Beautifully photographed. A lovely image harvest, along with audio is perfect. Black levels, grain structure, color, stability. There's not a single point to fault.
A perfect 4k Blu-ray release.
And the film? As noted, a magnificent production. Not without Very minor faults, but things that will never be noticed by even the most attentive audience member.
Performances aren't bad either.
