Master composer Ennio Morricone's scores go hand-in-hand with the
idea of the Western film. Often considered the world's greatest living
film composer, and most widely known for his innovative scores to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and the other Sergio Leone's movies, The Mission, Cinema Paradiso and more recently, The Hateful Eight, Morricone has spent the past 60 years reinventing the sound of cinema. In Ennio Morricone: In His Own Words,
composers Ennio Morricone and Alessandro De Rosa present a years-long
discussion of life, music, and the marvelous and unpredictable ways that
the two come into contact with and influence each other. The result is
what Morricone himself defines: "beyond a shadow of a doubt the best
book ever written about me, the most authentic, the most detailed and
well curated. The truest."
Opening for the first time the door
of his creative laboratory, Morricone offers an exhaustive and rich
account of his life, from his early years of study to genre-defining
collaborations with the most important Italian and international
directors, including Leone, Bertolucci, Pasolini, Argento, Tornatore,
Malick, Carpenter, Stone, Nichols, De Palma, Beatty, Levinson,
Almodóvar, Polanski, and Tarantino. In the process, Morricone unveils
the curious relationship that links music and images in cinema, as well
as the creative urgency at the foundation of his experimentations with
"absolute music". Throughout these conversations with De Rosa, Morricone
dispenses invaluable insights not only on composing but also on the
broader process of adaptation and what it means to be human. As he
reminds us, "Coming into contact with memories doesn't only entail the
melancholy of something that slips away with time, but also looking
forward, understanding who I am now. And who knows what else may
still happen."
