Film Forum is pleased to present the US theatrical premiere of Giuseppe Tornatore’s ENNIO on Friday, February 9. The film will open in Los Angeles at Laemmle NoHo on Friday, February 23 with a wider national expansion to follow in select markets. 

Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack scores — for Sergio Leone’s “Dollars Trilogy”, Bertolucci’s 1900, THE MISSION — are well known, but this comprehensive portrait aims to take the full measure of his extraordinary career (over 400 scores for movies and television), including his early work arranging Italian pop songs in the late 1950s and early 60s. In an extensive interview filmed just before his passing in 2020, Morricone shares his creative process (including his innovative use of nontraditional sounds) with filmmaker/longtime collaborator Tornatore (CINEMA PARADISO), who weaves together a trove of film clips from six decades with reflections by Clint Eastwood, Quentin Tarantino, John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Dario Argento, Joan Baez, and Wong Kar-Wai, among others. 

“Painstakingly detailed, fantastically entertaining…One huge cinematic mosaic that tessellates a massive interview with the man himself.”

– Leslie Felperin, The Guardian (UK)

“Giuseppe Tornatore’s rapturous paean to his late collaborator, Ennio Morricone…its fascination never flags.” – Stephanie Bunbury, Deadline

“If any film composer demands such an epic doc, it’s this one. [The film] offers real engagement with a complicated character, endearingly stubborn and self-effacing, whose inventiveness changed both his chosen field (“absolute” music) and the one, film scoring, he entered only reluctantly. ENNIO leaves one wanting to rewatch dozens of movies, dig up more for the first time, and scour the internet for Italian pop records that may never have been released on these shores.”  – John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter
