Abstract
Abstract:This article explores the narrative function of music in the French TV drama Les Revenants and its connection to the literary tradition of the fantastic. It argues that the music enacts the narrative device of hesitation to provide generic, timbral, tonal, semantic, and temporal ambiguity and, in doing so, gives voice to the show’s characteristic fantastical presentation of the Freudian uncanny.
