A film like a symphony: Oscar® winner Giuseppe Tornatore (CINEMA PARADISO) dedicates a monumental documentary to his friend and companion Ennio Morricone. ENNIO MORRICONE - THE MAESTRO lets the legendary composer, who died shortly after completion, look back on his incomparable life's work, which includes over 500 film compositions, in touching interviews. But Hollywood greats such as Clint
Eastwood, Quentin Tarantino and Hans Zimmer, as well as musicians such as Bruce Springsteen, Zucchero and Joan Baez also bring the maestro to life in their personal memories. They all tell the chronicle of a long career of unique creative breadth, which for many puts Morricone on a par with the great composers of classical music.
Giuseppe Tornatore and Ennio Morricone were connected by a close friendship of almost forty years. With ENNIO MORRICONE - THE MAESTRO, the director finally immortalizes the greatest film composer of all time.
