TIRANA, September 14 /ATA/- Tirana International Film Festival (TIFF) will start with “Ennio”, a documentary film by director Giuseppe Tornatore, dedicated to the legendary composer of world cinematography Ennio Morricone.
“Ennio” is the complete portrait of the most beloved and prolific composer of the 20th century, also acclaimed by critics and winner of two Oscars. Ennio Morricone comes in 156 minutes, with his complexity, as the author of over 500 unforgettable soundtracks. The documentary presented in 2021, comes to TIFF as a national premiere and recounts through a long interview of Tornatore with the Maestro, the testimonies of artists and directors, such as Bertolucci, Montaldo, Bellocchio, Argento, Taviani, Verdone, Barry Levinson, Roland Joffè, Oliver Stone and Quentin Tarantino.
Tornatore has brought fictional scenes but also archival images. The documentary “Ennio” is also an investigation that aims to reveal how little is known about Morricone like his passion for chess, which probably has mysterious connections to his music.
