The Silence of the Lambs

And the Academy Award Goes To...

Available for over a year

Paul Gambaccini continues his history of the Oscars, as he examines the film that boasts the shortest ever Oscar-winning lead performance by an actor - Anthony Hopkins. In 1992, The Silence of the Lambs became the first post-war film to win all five of the major Academy Awards. Jodie Foster (Best Actress in a Leading Role) recalls the experience of working alongside both Anthony Hopkins (Best Actor in a Leading Role) and Jonathan Demme (Best Director) Ted Tally (Best Writing, Screenplay Adapted From Other Medium) considers the extent to which The Silence of the Lambs (Best Picture) reveals more about celebrity culture than serial killers. Producers: Paul Kobrak & Sara Jane Hall First broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 in February 2008.
