Does anyone know why it has taken Tornatore so long to release the documentary? If I remember correctly he was already doing it three years ago.
I saw it last week. It's very moving, beautiful, interesting and covers different areas of his professional life. I think not all the guests say really interesting things, because with a genius like Morricone you expect to hear more substantial things than non-stop praises.
I even think that John Williams falls short when talking about such an important colleague. Zimmer, for example, gives interesting informations about Morricone's music.
I think they have tried to balance a documentary with deep content with a more commercial side. And I imagine Tornatore has more hours of great material.

I think the same. There must be hours and hours more.
Cannot believe that Edda speaks less than a minute in all movie.
That really hurts! Bruce Springsteen or WONDERFUL Portuguese singer Dulce Pontes speak three times as long and what they explain is three times less interesting than what Edda, fundamental in Morricone's career, could tell. But, of course, Springsteen (and so many others who appear) are stars and Edda, unfortunately, nobody knows her anymore.

So I saw this yesterday evening...and like everybody else before me, I cannot recommend this moving film enough. Fittingly, it was my first post-Corona movie that I went to see in a cinema (with, in the end, perhaps 20 other patrons).
The day before, I had watched a retrospective of the life of Pope Benedict XVI. "Ennio - The Maestro" shows a person whose personality and character traits strongly reminded of what I saw from the Pope. Apart from the consummate artist with an immense knowledge and serious work ethic, Ennio Morricone was shown and described, both in his own words and those of his long-time collaborators, as a deeply humane and humble person, with a wry sense of humour, sincere, authentic and, for lack of a better word, "sound". Perhaps their growing up and living during the same time period has something to do with this?
He was a unique composer and human being and the World could do with another, oh I dunno, five million of his kind.
I haven't watched many documentaries in a cinema, much less about a single person. This one made me laugh, cheer, cry and wistful. My exposure to Ennio Morricone's music isn't as broad or deep as for some of you; my personal highlights are getting my autograph request fulfilled by him many years ago, seeing him get an embrace from John Williams after winning the Oscar for The Hateful Eight, experiencing the man and his music in concert in Munich in 2017, and then having the chance last October to briefly visit his (unmarked) grave outside of Rome and saying thanks for his beautiful music.
If this movie is playing anywhere within an hour's driving distance, I'm beseeching you to go see it, no matter how big (or small) a fan of Morricone you are. And perhaps take someone with you. It'll be absolutely worth your time and dime.
