Product description

Product Description

At last, the evolution of his evil is revealed. Hannibal Lecter emerges from the nightmare of the Eastern Front, a boy in the snow, mute, with a chain around his neck. He seems utterly alone, but he has brought his demons with him. Hannibal's uncle, a noted painter, finds him in a Soviet orphanage and brings him to France, where Hannibal will live with his uncle and his uncle's beautiful and exotic wife, Lady Murasaki. Lady Murasaki helps Hannibal to heal.With her help he flourishes, becoming the youngest person ever admitted to medical school in France. But Hannibal's demons visit him and torment him.When he is old enough, he visits them in turn. He discovers he has gifts beyond the academic, and in that epiphany, Hannibal Lecter becomes death's prodigy.

Amazon.co.uk Review

Though Hannibal Rising's Lecter (Gaspard Ulliel) is a pussycat compared to Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs, this sequel's story of revenge is grizzly enough to satisfy lovers of Thomas Harris's epic tale. After young Hannibal (Aaron Thomas) is forced to watch his little sister, Mischa (Helena Lia Tachovska), devoured by starving soldiers in his homeland Lithuania, Hannibal vows to avenge his sister's death by slaying those who committed not only war crimes against the Lecters, but also against other families during WW II.

In detailing Hannibal's revenge plan, the film investigates the psychological implications of witnessing cannibalism to justify Hannibal's insatiable appetite for human flesh. The most interesting aspect of Hannibal Rising--its analytical connections drawn between Hannibal's childhood traumas and his murderous adult obsessions--is also the film's weak point. The links oversimplify Lecter's complex character. For example, though titillating to see flashbacks of Lecter's sister hacked up and boiled while Lecter visits a Parisian meat market, the reference is too obvious. One learns why he excels in his medical school classes dissecting cadavers, and we're given explicit explanation for why he slices off and eats his victims' cheeks. The story only complicates when Hannibal interacts with his sexy Aunt, Lady Murasaki (Gong Li). When Murasaki educates him in the art of beheading, the viewer sees Hannibal's sword fetish as a manifestation of physical lust. --Trinie Dalton

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good Start for a Serial Killer
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 November 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I've seen all the Hannibal films - a couple of which are pretty iffy - but I was intrigued by the idea of finding out how he became what he was in later depictions. It kicks off when our "hero" is a mere lad at the end of the last war, and, well, goes downhill from there, morally speaking.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this film, which was suitably dark as befits the period in general, and the subject and story in particular. You can certainly see why he chose the path he did, and you get to see glimpses of what's to come. A morally nice lad moulded by his circumstances.

    This makes a good link to the more famous films, though I cringe a little to think they might be tempted to make a link between this and "Silence of the Lambs" - it'd have to be done very well to get the balance right. For that I rather hope they don't bother.

    This film is well worth the small entrance fee, as it fills in a number of gaps - whilst leaving the inevitable questions unanswered.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2012

    I loved this film. Everything about it is amazing to me. To see the troubled past of a young Hannibal Lecter and how he gets his Cannibal tendencies and the way he deals with the ones who started him off this gruesome path. The sound is pretty amazing and I’m very particular about sound especially when it comes to movies. I do wish though it had been given the HD treatment as it would have been awesome then. The picture is nicely graded and adds very well to the style of the film.

    Over all a great Bluray. I wish though the white circle stating it to be the uncut version was a sticker and not part of the cover picture.

    I have always loved Hannibal Lecter films. I have been waiting a long time for this film and I wouldn't be disappointed with this film or any of the films other that have been made. The screenplay was written by Thomas Harris and it couldn't be written by anyone else but the creator of Hannibal Lecter. This film shows how and why Hannibal became a cannibal and what turns a small loving boy into a monster he became.

    If love horror films and you are thinking of buying this film? DO because you won't be disappointed.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Away from the Hannibal triology, this film is pleasing to view
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 April 2008
    Verified Purchase
    I purposely did not read this forth installment as I personally knew it was just another book to try and keep hold of this failing franchise.

    As for the film, I decided to go with some trepidation. What I watched was a very good, interesting well made film. Yes as readers, we are reminded that in `Hannibal' Lecter had a sixth digit on his hand, and as a child may have been ridculed and bullied by his peers ? Although this was during the second world war when children were more respectful and understanding for their peers; sadly this is not so in the 21st Century.

    I digress. I thought the opening scenes were very well made, simlar to those in Saving Private Ryan. When we get to see Lecter in his early 20s my thoughts of Anthony Hopkins soon faded. I personally understand why he followed the path of darkness, and yes, you soon feel sorry for the character and understand his way of killing.

    No way near as superior as Silence of the Lambs or remake of Red Dragon, but a very good try. I gave 4 stars, as some of the acting, not a lot, but was a little wooden.

    If you are quite a Liberal viewer in the horror genre, then give this ago. Just be open minded when viewing. If you are expecting levels of Silence of the Lambs then you may become disappointed.

    I've been a huge Hannibal fan for years and upon hearing Gaspard Ulliel was going to play a young Hannibal i couldn't wait to get my hands on the movie! Of course i couldn't go to the cinema to see it because i'm under 18 so as soon as it came out on DVD i bought it and i must say i wasn't disappointed at all! Wonderfully directed and perfectly cast this movie will never get old.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating take on where Hannibal Lecter came from
    Reviewed in the United States on 29 November 2019
    Verified Purchase
    As a standalone film this was enjoyable. It is the prequel to the films Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs, and Hannibal. This one focuses on where the cannibal serial killer Hannibal Lecter came from. It starts out at a crucial circumstance during Childhood that would play a part in this, then it transitions into Hannibal as an eighteen year old. I'm speculating his age as I don't recall it being said or evident. Naturally the great Anthony Hopkins would not play this part as a teenager and into young adulthood. The actor that plays Hannibal in this is Gaspard Ulliel. I haven't personally seen him in anything before this or after it, but he did a fantastic job. He had huge shoes to fill and he knew this for a young actor. You can tell he really studied up on the mannerisms that Anthony Hopkins had embodied. He may not look like Anthony Hopkins, but he captures the eerie mannerisms and way of speaking to the tee.

    Those that love the Hannibal Lecter films may especially be interested in seeing this if they haven't. I wouldn't put it up there as great as those three films, but it's still a fun ride to take. The only criticisms I mostly had with this was I felt it dragged a bit in his childhood back story, but I understand that it was necessary. I almost felt like it could've been shone in quick flashbacks, which it does throughout the film anyway. That would've been sufficient enough than the long drawn out beginning. Other than that, this was a great film and interesting to see where Hannibal Lecter came from and what made him the killer he became. I don't know how convinced some viewers might be that this is what propelled him, but it's still a good take to watch.

    Hannibal Lecter is one of those mythological fictitious serial killers that has had people riveted by due to the popularity of The Silence of the Lambs book and film. Hannibal is a man that is advanced, intelligent and classy, but he graphically kills people in the most horrifyingly long drawn out ways to really teach them a lesson. It's a calm deliberate methodical way of killing. And the way he speaks is so frightening, but at the same time what makes him so iconic and loved is that he typically seems to go after antagonists that are either rude or just horrible people of society. Most sane people can get on board with thinking, "Oh that guy had it coming. He was an a-hole, so I'm glad Hannibal got him." In a strange sense he's almost like a vigilante in a way.

    Even his Aunt who realizes what he's doing is both protective of him, but concerned at the same time. The actress is played by a chinese born actress, Gong Li. She does an incredible job just by the look on her face that you can read it as being both protective and caring for him with grave concern with how far he's going to go until eventually realizing that he's never going to stop. The fact that he's so cultured and intelligent seeing more than most people see makes him a fascinating character to watch. If you're not into graphic scenes, they are far and few between and don't dwell on it. You can turn your head for a second and you'll be fine.
