  He errs in his first paragraph: in the last scene of "Silence of the Lambs," Hannibal is seen strolling away, tilting the fedora on his head.
  This reviewer ain't very perceptive.

    The Transit Films/Murnau Foundation 270 minute restoration (Eureka, Region 2, PAL; see link below) is excellent, which is something the reviewer should've discussed at greater length on the eve of the July 18 release of Kino's Region 1 authorized edition. The cover art (above) on Kino's release is pretty dreadful IMO, even though it may be from an actual period poster (I haven't verified this, and maybe it's just an aesthetics thing, but I like the look of Eureka's packaging better).

    His trouser cuffs are dirty
    And his shoes are laced up wrong
    He'd better take off his Homburg
    'Cause his overcoat is too long

    Cheers,

        BTW, if in your travels you ever have reason to end up in the Metroplex, let me know and we'll work out logistics to meet and screen a few silent films over our projection system (DLP; 120" Saaria Grey Magic Screen). Note: Since recently moving into our new abode the living room has evolved into a friggin' mini-cinema, so it's a good thing that my wife has similar sensitivities to mine when it comes to room decor! :o)
