Love this movie/soundtrack so much. Saw it in the theater over Spring Break of my freshman year & have revisited both frequently ever since. I’ve had this cd for over 20 years(?!). Damon Albarn & Michael Nyman - Ravenous OST (1999, Virgin) CD. #NowPlaying
The mix & clash of Albarn and Nyman is a singular as the movie, itself, and conveys its sensibilities perfectly. The melody of Boyd’s Journey is genuinely beautiful, and I get goosebumps every time those bass strings kick in on Colquhoun’s Story. Then there’s Saveoursoulissa 🤯💀
When you have to explain to your friends’ mom why you want to leave the sleepover
Oh my god, and that queasy sing-song loop in the first half of The Cave, 💋👌
This other loop from The Cave always reminds me of the Harpy’s theme from The Last Unicorn...
Wonder if Albarn sampled this? (Side note: listened to the Rosemary’s Baby audiobook after @Remember_Sarah recommended it on here, and it was cool to hear Farrow jump back into that role, but her voice just kept bringing me back to The Unicorn/Lady Amalthea)
Martha, shortly after returning to camp following the climax of the movie
I wonder if anyone’s ever used Savoursoulissa as their intro/walk-up/overture music? Can you imagine coming out to a crowd with this?
Listening to the Bird/Albarn commentary for the first time in years, nice insights into both the movie and the score.
I want a spin-off movie about Martha, directed by Kelly Reichardt
LOL, Carlyle got Pierce drunk n whiskey for this scene, and you can really see it in the way he wobbles and dives into the stew.
For so many reasons, I keep thinking of Apocalypse Now as a kindred spirit with this movie. Sort of a prequel, innit?
Triple feature: Ravenous, There Will Be Blood, Apocalypse Now
I’ll just /end this thread by saying RIP Antonia Bird and
