Often considered the world's greatest living film composer, and most widely known for his innovative scores to \u003cem\u003eThe Good, the Bad, and the Ugly \u003c\/em\u003eand the other Sergio Leone's movies, \u003cem\u003eThe Mission, Cinema Paradiso\u003c\/em\u003e and more recently, \u003cem\u003eThe Hateful Eight\u003c\/em\u003e, Morricone has spent the past 60 years reinventing the sound of cinema. In \u003cem\u003eEnnio Morricone: In His Own Words\u003c\/em\u003e, composers Ennio Morricone and Alessandro De Rosa present a years-long discussion of life, music, and the marvelous and unpredictable ways that the two come into contact with and influence each other. The result is what Morricone himself defines: \"beyond a shadow of a doubt the best book ever written about me, the most authentic, the most detailed and well curated. The truest.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOpening for the first time the door of his creative laboratory, Morricone offers an exhaustive and rich account of his life, from his early years of study to genre-defining collaborations with the most important Italian and international directors, including Leone, Bertolucci, Pasolini, Argento, Tornatore, Malick, Carpenter, Stone, Nichols, De Palma, Beatty, Levinson, Almod�var, Polanski, and Tarantino. In the process, Morricone unveils the curious relationship that links music and images in cinema, as well as the creative urgency at the foundation of his experimentations with \"absolute music\". Throughout these conversations with De Rosa, Morricone dispenses invaluable insights not only on composing but also on the broader process of adaptation and what it means to be human. As he reminds us, \"Coming into contact with memories doesn't only entail the melancholy of something that slips away with time, but also looking forward, understanding who I am now. And who knows what else may still happen.\"","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45050311409815,"sku":"9780190681012","price":4136.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190681012.webp?v=1769226849","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ennio-morricone-in-his-own-words-9780190681012","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
