R.I.P. Jonathan Demme

[TomF]

I lost a dear friend today. He gave me my first break in 1979 and we went on to work on 11 of his films together. He was a great director, a dear friend and an inspiration to me. I don't think I'll ever get over this loss.

Rest In Peace JayDee.

Sorry for your loss.  A great director but sounds like a better friend.

Sorry Tom, sounds like a great friend. The memories and inspiration WILL keep you going. Sounds like he made you a better person knowing him and that's what it's about.

If the range of films is any indication, he seemed like a very interesting guy. Sorry for the loss.

Sorry to hear this. He also made, in my opinion, the finest music film documentary ever - Stop Making Sense. RIP

 OMG  What a shock!  I LOVE Jonathan Demme for all his exemplary work and finesse in filmmaking...thoroughly, thoughtfully and carefully directed in rare talent and being able to both satisfy and warm the heart of the viewer.  You know how it is when you have talent of this mammoth level - you just expect them to live forever. Thank you, TomF, although we share your heartache at this loss, but for still notifying us of this. Again, truly, truly a shock. RIP,  Jonathan

silence of the lambs was a seriously brilliant (and terrifying) film.

[beanaux]

So sorry for your loss. You were very lucky to have worked with such an immense talent. He will certainly be missed.

May he rest in peace.

The world is fortunate and richer from his works, I for one love a great many of his films, Manchurian Candidate and Silence of the lambs, classics!

Sorry for your loss. Everyone loved Silence of the Lambs, which of course was awesome, but I always thought it was cool how he seemed to just picked projects he enjoyed regardless of whether it was going to have mass appeal or not.
