More on Morricone
« on: February 13, 2007, 11:12:17 pm »
Anybody checked out the series of films scored by Ennio Morricone playing this month at MOMA in New York? They include not only the films of Sergio Leone but also films like Days of Heaven, The Untouchables, and two films of Bernardo Bertolucci: Before the Revolution and La Luna.

From The New Yorker: "It is that seizing of moments, the shudder of sudden attention, that lifts him to the top stave of movie composers, in all their stealth and pounce."

Thanks to Anya Anjie for posting the links to YouTube of the Oscar broadcast portion with Ennio Morricone songs. I missed the Oscar broadcast because I attended the Oscar Night Showing in Bay City, Michigan!! The theme from Cinema Paradisio is here:
