"By opting for increasingly tight shots and thus a stronger proximity to the characters, Jonathan Demme creates a constant discomfort: gradually, the disgust felt by Starling towards Lecter gives way to a certain form of respect, like two adversaries playing a deadly game of chess, an ambivalence that will persist throughout the film" (Ilan Ferry, ecranlarge.com).
