I'm thinking about the scene from <Silence of the Lambs> where Hannibal Lecter is listening to Agent Starling's traumatic memory of the slaughter of the lambs. Hopkins' langoruos blinking seems part of his acting the psychopath's enjoyment in the perverse therapy session. Does anyone have any good references, insights etc. on the performance/physiology divide on acting via things like blinking that are semi-autonomic actions?
thanks
