Jonathan Demme moved fluidly across genres while maintaining an unmistakably humanist sensibility, from the kinetic screwball anarchy of SOMETHING WILD and MARRIED TO THE MOB to the restrained terror of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS to the overwhelming emotions of RACHEL GETTING MARRIED. Animated by unforgettable characters in states of reinvention, his films overflow with warmth and affection for even the most damaged souls, as well as an easygoing grace that gave his extraordinary actors space to shine.
