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.
Editor's Verdict
"The Silence of the Lambs is a seminal crime thriller with no discernible connection to the Christmas season in its setting, plot, iconography, or thematic resolution. The single detected element, 'Belief/Faith,' is a general thematic element common to many genres and is not specifically anchored to Christmas traditions or the holiday in this film."
