Synopsis

Heaven and Hell

Norwegian propaganda film and cult drama about Eva (16) and Arne (17), both from well established homes, attend a class where a professor says that cannabis is safer than alcohol. Together with some friends they decide to try the drug. The start of a drug hell for all involved. The film was poorly received by the critics, but it nonetheless became one of the highest-grossing theater films in Norway in 1969.

The Silence of the Lambs

Clarice Starling is a top student at the FBI's training academy. Jack Crawford wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.
