Jonathan Demme

What makes a Jonathan Demme film a Jonathan Demme film

Across 7 films, they run somewhat more tension than films in general. Their films vary about as much as any director’s do, so this is an average rather than a template.

The line down the middle is the average film. A bar to the right means more of that reading than films in general, to the left less. Drawn from every film of theirs in the catalogue, not a selection.
