The Silence of the Lambs: Who Wins the Scene?

Here's a solid shot by shot breakdown by Tony Zhou  (Every Frame A Painting) of a scene from The Silence of the Lambs. An amazing amount thought, planning and staging went into this scene where Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins' characters meet for the first time.
