Ennio Morricone
Ennio Morricone was born on Nov 10, 1928 in Italy. Ennio Morricone's big-screen debut came with Morte di un amico directed by Franco Rossi in 1960. Ennio Morricone is known for The Best Offer directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, Geoffrey Rush stars as Virgil Oldman and Jim Sturgess as Robert. Ennio Morricone has got 87 awards and 96 nominations so far. The most recent award Ennio Morricone achieved is Almeria Western Film Festival. The upcoming new movie Ennio Morricone plays is Anche se volessi lavorare, che faccio? which will be released on May 15, 2021.
A classmate of director Sergio Leone with whom he would form one of the great director/composer partnerships (right up there with Eisenstein & Prokofiev, Hitchcock & Herrmann, Fellini & Rota), Ennio Morricone studied at Rome's Santa Cecilia Conservatory, where he specialized in trumpet. His first film scores were relatively undistinguished, but he was hired by Leone for Pour une poignée de dollars (1964) on the strength of some of his song arrangements. His score for that film, with its sparse arrangements, unorthodox instrumentation (bells, electric guitars, harmonicas, the distinctive twang of the jew's harp) and memorable tunes, revolutionized the way music would be used in Westerns, and it is hard to think of a post-Morricone Western score that doesn't in some way reflect his influence. Although his name will always be synonymous with the spaghetti Western, Morricone has also contributed to a huge range of other film genres: comedies, dramas, thrillers, horror films, romances, art movies, exploitation movies - making him one of the film world's most versatile artists. He has written nearly 400 film scores, so a brief summary is impossible, but his most memorable work includes the Leone films, Gillo Pontecorvo's La bataille d'Alger (1966) , Roland Joffé's Mission (1986), Brian De Palma's Les incorruptibles (1987) and Giuseppe Tornatore's Cinéma Paradiso (1988), plus a rare example of sung opening credits for Pier Paolo Pasolini's Des oiseaux, petits et gros (1966).
