Robert Jonathan Demme (/ ˈ d ɛ m i / DEM-ee; February 22, 1944 – April 26, 2017) was an American filmmaker, whose career directing, producing, and screenwriting spanned more than 30 years and 70 feature films, documentaries, and television productions.
- The Silence of the Lambs (1991) One of my favorite things is that Demme really utilizes his patented tic of having actors look directly into the camera, something he’s been doing since at least Last Embrace.
- Melvin and Howard (1980) Imagine picking up a raggedy hitchhiker, who tells you that he’s Howard Hughes. You go about and live your life. You have marriages and children.
- Philadelphia (1993) Talk about a fascinating time capsule. When Philadelphia was made, having the AIDS virus was nothing short of a death sentence. There really wasn’t any other option.
- Something Wild (1986) Countless teenagers and young adults have worshipped the relationships depicted in movies like Say Anything, but if you were young and hip in the 1980s, then you probably romanticized Charlie (Jeff Daniels) and Lulu (Melanie Griffith) in Something Wild.
Director Jonathan Demme's smart, taut thriller teeters on the edge between psychological study and all-out horror, and benefits greatly from stellar performances by Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster.
