HANNIBAL (MA15+) Presented in 35mm

Hannibal at Revival House Perth

Experience Ridley Scott's sumptuous and disturbing 2001 sequel that reunites audiences with cinema's most sophisticated cannibal. Ten years after the events of "The Silence of the Lambs," Dr. Hannibal Lecter has escaped to Florence, Italy, where he lives as a respected art curator - until FBI agent Clarice Starling's renewed pursuit and the vengeful schemes of his lone surviving victim threaten to expose his elegant new life.

Anthony Hopkins returns with mesmerizing authority as Dr. Lecter, now free to indulge his refined tastes for Renaissance art, opera, and human flesh in the cultural heart of Italy. Julianne Moore brings intelligence and determination to Clarice Starling, a character haunted by her past encounters with Lecter while facing new horrors that test her resolve.

Scott's opulent direction transforms the story into a gothic feast for the senses, contrasting the beauty of Renaissance Florence with the grotesque reality of Lecter's appetites. The film's exploration of high culture and base violence creates an unsettling atmosphere where beauty and horror dance together in perfect, terrible harmony.

Gary Oldman delivers a tour-de-force performance as Mason Verger, Lecter's hideously disfigured victim seeking elaborate revenge, while Ray Liotta and Giancarlo Giannini provide strong support. The film's unflinching examination of revenge, obsession, and the seductive nature of evil pushes boundaries while maintaining psychological complexity.
