What’s most impactful about “Ennio” is the opportunity to see Morricone as a man and a music lover.

Diving into the history of these scores touches the heart of anyone who has been moved by his songs. In the end, it’s reassuring to learn how much heart emanated from the composer.

It’s not a short film, at roughly two and a half hours. It’s also so rich in its detail, and sheer musical variety, you’re grateful for the excess.

One of the longest documentaries I’ve ever watched, but there’s so much beautiful Morricone music that I didn’t mind at all. It's an amazing tribute that honors Morricone’s musical brilliance and lasting impact.
