Soon Rodriguez, Miller, "special guest director" Quentin Tarantino, and a vast ensemble cast (Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Rosario Dawson, Elijah Wood, Jessica Alba, and on and on) were putting together what has become, in effect, the most faithful translation from comic-book page to film ever attempted.

 Filmtracks: Sin City (Robert Rodriguez/Graeme Revell/John Debney)
Rodriguez takes three primary storylines from the comics and treats them as mini-dramas within the film, the timelessness of the city bringing the lines together under a common umbrella of wet streets, cars of yesteryear, and cigarette smoke.
Rodriguez also encouraged the entire range of saxophones, from alto to bass, to accentuate the history of film noir jazz in the film, but intentionally distorted the sax performances digitally to give them an extra dose of gritty reality.
Rodriguez's gritty sax theme continues here, though Debney uses the brass and string-only orchestra for dramatic depth that ranges from a solo trumpet meandering over the top of the ensemble to the full group's interpretation of the title theme.
