The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American film directed by Jonathan Demme, following FBI trainee Clarice Starling as she seeks the guidance of imprisoned psychiatrist and cannibalistic killer Hannibal Lecter in order to track down a different, still-active serial murderer known as Buffalo Bill. The film moves between Starling's uneasy interviews with Lecter and the wider manhunt, using Lecter's manipulative intelligence as both a resource and a threat. The Silence of the Lambs won all five major Academy Awards, including picture, director, actor and actress, and remains the only film generally classified as a horror film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
