“I worked twenty-five years with Ennio Morricone – says Tornatore – I made almost all my films with him, not to mention the documentaries, commercials and projects that we tried to set up without success. During all this time our friendship has grown stronger and stronger. So, film after film, as and when my knowledge of his character as a man and as an artist deepened, I always wondered what kind of documentary I could do about him. And today my dream came true “.
