Equally adept at concert films (Stop Making Sense) and comedies
(Melvin and Howard), Jonathan
Demme threw everyone for a loop when he delivered the quintessential
thriller of the 1990s, The Silence of the Lambs. The Oscar-winning
film catapulted Demme onto the directorial A-list, where the one-time
Roger Corman disciple expanded his profile with socially conscious
films (Philadelphia, Beloved) that struck a cultural nerve more
than a critical mass. His off-centered sense of humor has made
him one of few filmmakers who successfully balance tragedy or
violence with comedy.
