Manhunter (1986)

May’s theme is MICHAEL MANN MAY and next up on the docket is the crime thriller that also happens to be the first film adaptation of Thomas Harris’s “Hannibal Lector” novels. It’s not as well known as Jonathan Demme’s “Silence of the Lambs” but it stands out in its own special ways with some genuinely creepy and memorable performances. We’re talking about Michael Mann’s third feature film from 1986, “Manhunter”. It stars William Petersen, Tom Noonan, Dennis Farina, Joan Allen and a criminally underrated performance by Brian Cox as “Hannibal Lector”. Go watch this. It’s better than all the movies post-Silence of the Lambs. Imagine an alternate universe where Michael Mann tackled ALL of the Hannibal Lector movies. That’s a lot of Tangerine Dream!
