Giuseppe Tornatore pays tribute to Ennio Morricone, retracing the life and works of the legendary composer, from his debut with Sergio Leone to the Oscar-winning 'The Hateful Eight'.

The subject is one of the most innovative and influential composers of all time but the documentary that tells his story is very conventional, with chronological archival footage and talking head interviews given by the composer and his co-workers. Ennio Morricone, composer of over 500 movie scores, and the talking heads include Clint Eastwood, Bruce Springsteen, Oliver Stone, and Quentin Tarantino. But the star of the film is the music itself. We hear Morricone try to explain a musical theme by going, “duh duh de duh duh” and then we hear what is in his head, the full orchestration, with the movie scene it immeasurably enhances.
