ABSTRACT
Hollywood film genres had strong blueprints for their particular incarnations of the classical film score. The western was a good example of this. Consequently, when any western aimed to show its difference and intention to take a “revisionist” approach to the genre, music was a very tangible means of stating this ambition as well as of achieving it. The film under scrutiny in this discussion is Ravenous (2000), a dark comedy cannibal western that was produced in Europe.
