PLOT : Ennio: The Maestro follows the life and achievements of legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone. The film goes through his journey from composing music for artists like Paul Anka, to his debut with Sergio Leone, to his Oscar-winning score for The Hateful Eight (2016). The film provides behind the scenes access to Morricone and his life and those that he worked with, making the film all the more emotional considering Morricone’s passing in 2020.
