Anthony Hopkins is playing “Freud, the last confession”. But do you know what is his best film according to the spectators of Allociné? Index: It is its most famous.
After the trapped thriller released in our rooms last April, Anthony Hopkins plays Signmund Freud in the film by Matt Brown Freud, the last confession.
In this film, the actor embodies Freud in the last days of his life. Refugee in London with his daughter Anna, Freud became – under the effect of age and illness – a bitter and capricious old man. But the professor's curiosity is stung up when a certain CS Lewis (Matthew Goode), a claimed novelist and Christian, mentions it in one of his publications. Their meeting around the question of God will turn to the duel …
The opportunity to discover the best rated film in the actor's filmography. And no one will be surprised at the result … because it is not for nothing if it is this opus that immediately comes to mind when we talk about the name of Anthony Hopkins. Endowed with the same average, Elephant Man could have dated the pawn, but the number of voters (74,454 against 29,720 for David Lynch) tipped the balance in favor … of the silence of the lambs. Obviously.
One of the rare films to have succeeded in the Big Five to the Oscars, winning the five main awards: film, production (Jonathan Demme), adapted scenario (Ted Tally after Thomas Harris), actress (Jodie Foster) and actor, for an Anthony Hopkins who has never been as terrifying as Hannibal Lecter (despite a reduced screen time).
Some extracts from criticism from Internet users who put 5 on 5 in the “Silence of the Lamb”
Gyzmoca: “Jonathan Demme realizes a perfect thriller with an Anthony Hopkins at the top of his art and freaking out in cannibal psychopath. The psychology of the characters is striking. We are terrified, excited. One of the best thrillers of cinema! Oscar 1992 of the best film, scenario, director, actress and actress!”
Leo .B: “The silence of the lambs is above all an atmosphere. We add to it the Demme camera which, in a brilliant timing, alternates the close-ups on the face of Hopkins and the off-champ suggesting the presence of the psychopath, we have the strength and essence of the thriller. A film that marked me and that will mark you. American. “
A jewel of American cinema
Hawkman: “In the films around Serial Killer, if we have to see 2 in his life it is the silence of the lambs accompanied by Seven. Here is that saying apart from, a slap, an anthology film around an XXL performance by Anthony Hopkins, however so little present in the film (15 minutes at most) which will haunt more than one of us (…) I cannot say more without revealing parts of history but an inevitable film … to savor! “
Legend13: “A breathtaking and striking thriller. Jonathan Demme adapted Thomas Harris's novel with great virtuosity. More than 30 years later the silence of the lambs is still as unhealthy and unavoiding. And the performance of the actors is not unrelated. Anthony Hopkins is terrifying and here holds his most unforgettable role. Jodie Foster is very touching and Ted levine is amazing in the role of the service of service. In short, a cult work that has not aged. “
Audrey L: “An immediate favorite. So much for his terrifying interpretation (but, assumed masochism, oh so endearing) of Anthony Hopkins (his Oscar is amply deserved! Like others that the film received, moreover …), that for his captivating intrigue and his unhealthy but madly enthusiastic relationship with Jodie Foster! Hannibal Lecter is only visible on the screen … Remember that of this look, interested in we do not know what (or rather, we are afraid of knowing it …) and a very disturbing sex appeal for a psychopath cannibal, but Gentleman if you go. “
Undoubtedly one of the greatest thriller in the history of cinema
Florent B.: “Undoubtedly one of the greatest thriller in the history of cinema. Masterly staged and brilliantly interpreted, the silence of the lambs marks the spirits, by the play of actors, the power of images, the nervousness of the scenario and the ingenuity of his editing. Anthony Hopkins ice the blood at each appearance and Jodie Foster bursts the screen.
Theo: “What makes” the silence of the lambs “truly exceptional is its deep exploration of the themes of fear, manipulation and human psyche. The film poses complex moral questions and explores the shadow areas of the human soul, all wrapped in a police trad.”
And you ? Have you had the icy blood in front of the silence of the lambs?
