“The Silence of the Lambs” producer Edw -

ard Saxon calls the project “a unique, essential addition to film and filmmaking scholarship. Brilliant. Immersive. As close as you can get to understanding a filmmaker’s process, and the entire Mann filmmaking process without being on set. It’s also tremendous fun.”

Criterion Senior Producer Curtis Tsui said, “I loved hearing Michael narrate about how he directed a scene while watching that scene play back, or hearing the breakdown of why La Traviata was so important while analyzing the construction of the scene. My favorite things were the paper elements, so all of that — the screenplay, the notes about scenes plus handwriting — is really special.”

The Mann archiveswill be available initially in the U.S., U.K., Europe and Canada,with additional international releases to follow.
