Maria Duarte reviews Ennio, Happening, Firebird and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Ennio (15)
Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore
★★★★
THE life and work of legendary Italian composer Ennio Moriconne, who turned film music into a powerful art form, is finally being celebrated in this compelling documentary which only scratches the surface of this man’s genius.
You may not know his name, but you will recognise his unforgettable work: from Sergio Leone's Westerns — in particular A Fistful of Dollars — to The Untouchables, Cinema Paradiso and Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, for which he finally won an Oscar in 2016, to name but a few.
