These interviews are interweaved with fragments of Morricone’s private life, his recordings, and from Morricone’s sold out live concerts around the world. Morricone, starting in 1946, composed over 500 scores for film and television, as well as over 100 pieces of music for orchestral performance. At least a dozen of his scores became film-score classics, from the so-called spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s, including Sergio Leone’s “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in the West” to Cannes Palm d’Or-winning Roland Joffe film “The Mission” and “Cinema Paradiso” of the 1980s.
Morricone was nominated six times for Oscars — for “Days of Heaven,” “The Mission,” “The Untouchables,” “Bugsy,” “Malena” and “The Hateful Eight,” winning for the last of these. In 2006 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences presented him with an honorary Oscar for “his magnificent and multifaceted contributions to the art of film music.” He was only the second composer in Oscar history to receive an honorary award for his body of work.
