Michael Mann is both the master of cyberpunk cinema and our leading supplier of Don Frye on film and for this I salute him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y07Z8YVbjbs I loving love this scene. "I want to touch your face," she says to Dolarhyde, and about thirty seconds later she's rubbing a tiger's fangs. Then you have the moment of real connection: Reba laying her head against the tiger's chest, listening to its heart. The vet places a comforting hand on her back. This is startling in a film where, like in most Michael Mann joints, people are defined by tools, by jargon, but most of all by the negative space they surround themselves with for protection. The vulnerability, the humanity, the life of this moment is too much for Dolarhyde - he's backed into a physical and metaphorical corner by the force of it. We don't need a Lecktor speech to tell us what's wrong with Dolarhyde, this is why he kills.
