Ennio

A portrait of Ennio Morricone, the most popular and prolific film composer of the 20th century, the one most loved by the international public, a two-time Oscar winner and the author of over five hundred unforgettable scores.
The sides of Ennio
- A composer going back through his own scores
- Whistles and cries written for westerns
- Directors and musicians explaining what he did
Ennio is good for you if…
- you want to hear how a theme was built, instrument by instrument.
- you like the man himself talking through his own work.
- you like half a century of film music walked through in order.
Ennio is bad for you if…
- two and a half hours on one composer is too much for you.
- you won't read subtitles for two and a half hours of Italian.
