Ravenous

DIRECTED BY: Antonia Bird

REVIEWED: 03-29-99

An extended metaphor about Manifest Destiny, Ravenous tells the story of a survivor from the Donner Party who gains supernatural strength from eating humans. Beautiful photography and a very unusual, unpredictable story make this worth watching. However, the gore and violence are pretty extreme, so it's certainly not for the squeamish. Features an extremely well-integrated score written in collaboration by minimalist composer Michael Nyman and Blur frontman Damon Albarn.
