ENNIO - 7:30pm

Giuseppe Tornatore, director of the beloved Cinema Paradiso, turns his camera on his longtime collaborator Ennio Morricone (1928 – 2020) in a moving and comprehensive profile of the indefatigable composer. Tornatore’s documentary portrait examines the breadth of the maestro’s career, from his early Italian pop songs to the fistful of unforgettable film scores that he wrote, including The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, The Thing, Days of Heaven, and hundreds of others. Packed with insightful commentary from Morricone’s collaborators and contemporaries, Ennio affords the master one last chance to recount his career and deconstruct his artistic process.

Featuring interviews with Clint Eastwood Quentin Tarantino John Williams Hans Zimmer Quincy Jones Dario Argento Bruce Springsteen Joan Baez Wong Kar-Wai and many more!

“… Ennio is another cinephilic paean …. There’s much to see and to hear, most of it delightful …. Morricone turns out to be a total charmer, a low-key showman with a demure gaze that he works like a vamp and an impish smile that routinely punctuates one of his anecdotes.” – Manohla Dargis, New York Times Critic’s Pick
