Beschreibung

The Abbey of Einsiedeln is one of the most important baroque monastic sites. On the site of the cell of the hermit Meinrad a Benedictine monastery was built in the early Middle Ages. Over the course of time, a pilgrimage developed, first to the chapel built on the site of Meinrad’s cell, then to the first image of the Virgin Mary, consecrated by the Lord, in this chapel. Even today, the chapel with the miraculous statue of the Black Madonna is still the destination of a pilgrimage that radiates far and wide. The present abbey was built in the Baroque period according to the plans of Brother Caspar Moosbrugger, with the church in the centre and the monastery square in front. The abbey has survived all the storms of time, the Reformation and the suppression during the French invasion, and still houses a lively Benedictine monastery.

"The Silence of the Lambs" is a 1991 psychological horror-thriller directed by Jonathan Demme. The film follows FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster), who is tasked with interviewing the imprisoned cannibalistic serial killer, Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). Starling seeks Lecter's help to catch another serial killer, "Buffalo Bill," who is abducting women. As Starling and Lecter form an uneasy connection, she delves into the disturbing psychology of both killers. The film explores themes of power, manipulation, and the darkness of the human mind, blending crime investigation with psychological tension and horror. It remains a highly influential film in the thriller genre.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“Sir Anthony Hopkins based his portrayal of Dr. Hannibal Lecter on a friend in London who never blinked while speaking, which unnerved anyone around him.”
“Jodie Foster spent a lot of time with real-life FBI agent Mary Ann Krause to prepare for her role as Clarice Starling. Krause inspired the scene in which Starling stands beside her car crying, suggesting it as an emotional release from the overwhelming pressures of her work.”
“The real FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit assisted with the film, ensuring its portrayal of the FBI's profiling work was accurate.”
“The production received full cooperation from the FBI, who saw the film as a potential recruitment tool to attract more female agents.”
