The Big Lebowski. Joel Coen - David Fincher - John Huston - She thinks that finding a missing young woman will end these memories. After Dr. Lecter escapes, he calls Clarice and says, "Well, Clarice… have the lambs stopped screaming? It's an odd dynamic between the two of them, to be sure. However, considering the connection between them, we can feel confident that, now that Lecter is on the loose, at least he won't be eating Clarice's liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Not only is it gorgeously written and performed, but it also depicts Lecter as a cultured savant, with both a deep knowledge of Florence and a great talent for art. But it also sets up his frustrating lack of a view, which is something that Clarice will utilize to her advantage while trying to sway Lecter later in the movie. During the movie's most pivotal sequence, Clarice finally unveils her lamb dream to Dr.
Lecter in turn sheds his eerie, serial killer persona for just a second and inhabits his past life as a psychiatrist, helping Clarice to understand her dream. When she spills the details, Hannibal finally understands her desire and motivations - the motivation to clear her head of past trauma and help the helpless.
