What Ravenous Is About

Antonia Bird's 1999 film follows a captain posted to a mountain army outpost in the nineteenth century. A starving man arrives at the fort. The story he tells is bloody. The film builds cannibalism like an addiction; the narrative sets black comedy inside the horror. Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle lead. The director was changed during production. The score is by Michael Nyman and Damon Albarn. Who it's for: those who like odd, bloody genre mixtures. Who it's not for: viewers who cannot take cannibalism and gore; the film does not spare them.
