“It started with revenge.”
The story of the early, murderous roots of the cannibalistic killer, Hannibal Lecter – from his hard-scrabble Lithuanian childhood, where he witnesses the repulsive lengths to which hungry soldiers will go to satiate themselves, through his sojourn in France, where as a med student he hones his appetite for the kill.
This film plunges into a bleak, brutal origin story. It feels grim and disturbing, exploring the chilling transformation of a psyche amidst visceral violence and a pervasive sense of dread. A steady, unsettling descent into the depths of human depravity, leaving a lasting, unsettling impression.
