Jonathan Demme’s landmark psychological horror ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ has been given an exquisitely detailed 4K restoration by Arrow Video. I don’t want to say the film has never looked better, as that is entirely subjective. The process of taking films from decades ago and making them look like they were released today is certainly a contentious topic right now. Especially in instances where we are seeing the texture of celluloid being digitally scrubbed away. I’m happy to report that hasn’t happened here. Arrow’s restoration is very impressive, and from an objective perspective, has never looked this sharp and finely detailed. If image clarity is your thing, then this is the release for you.
