[Cinema News] RIP Jonathan Demme

Although Silence was his biggest hit it really was an outlier in his body of work. Up until then he was known for Comedies like Something Wild, Married to the Mob & a bunch of Rock Documentaries/Videos like The Talking Heads 'Stop Making Sense'.

Death was due to complications with esophageal cancer.

Demme won an Oscar for directing Silence of the Lambs but had a wide and varied career directing in film and television and had also directed the films Rachel Getting Married, Ricki and the Flash, Beloved, Philadelphia, Married to the Mob and more.

that is terribly sad. Loved his movies and also his work with rock musicians, his stuff with Bruce Springsteen for example was terrific, and the film Philadelphia. Wow. incredibly sad news.

13-year-old me thought Melanie Griffith was pretty exciting in Something Wild.
