Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aver perduto Ennio Morricone significa aver perso uno dei titani della storia della musica, italiana e mondiale. Lasciandoci, il Maestro ha portato via con sé una sensibilità di cui era davvero uno degli ultimi autentici depositari. Nato musicalmente nella classe di Goffredo Petrassi, Morricone esplorò ampliamente i linguaggi dell’avanguardia musicale, visitando persino Darmstadt e incontrando i post-weberniani e l’alea di John Cage. Questi i motivi alla base della sua insanabile ricerca e sperimentazione musicale, che si coniugano con le esigenze della musica applicata e della musica popolare, che sono i mondi sonori che l’hanno definito presso il grande pubblico: una miscela, probabilmente, irripetuta. L’incontro col pubblico e l’urgenza comunicativa erano quindi al centro della sua attività compositiva, ma questo non lo ha mai costretto a rinunciare a un continuo percorso di esplorazione che, in fondo, non mirava ad altro se non all’essenza stessa della musica, al suo significato: sarà per questa continua tensione alla musica assoluta che le sue colonne sonore sono state capaci di valicare il grande schermo, diventando in fondo la colonna sonora della vita di chiunque abbia amato la sua musica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master composer Ennio Morricone's scores go hand-in-hand with the idea of the Western film. Often considered the world's greatest living film composer, and most widely known for his innovative scores to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and the other Sergio Leone's movies, The Mission, Cinema Paradiso and more recently, The Hateful Eight, Morricone has spent the past 60 years reinventing the sound of cinema. In Ennio Morricone: In His Own Words, 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." Opening 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, Almodóvar, 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."

Download or read book Giuseppe Tornatore written by William Hope and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of the spectatorâ (TM)s emotional and intellectual engagement with films has attracted increasing critical scrutiny over the past decade, and theoretical frameworks have been elaborated to analyse how and why viewers are moved by what they see on screen. Viewer responses are influenced by factors including genre expectations, involuntary physiological reactions to what is seen and heard, shifting attachments towards screen characters, and by specific devices within a filmâ (TM)s mise-en-scène, such as lighting and colour. Giuseppe Tornatore: Emotion; Cognition; Cinema is a film-by-film analysis of the work of the Oscar-winning director, a study that examines the nature of the strong affective charge that characterizes his films, and which also explores the cognitive and intellectual appeal of Tornatoreâ (TM)s cinema. The volume illustrates the ways in which an affective and intellectual synergy can develop between a filmâ (TM)s aesthetics and its conceptual agenda, as instantiated by films such as the celebrated Cinema Paradiso. The affective power that characterizes Tornatoreâ (TM)s work has long been acknowledged by critics, and while analysing the configurations of visual, aural, and narrative devices that generate such intensely poignant viewing experiences, the volume also elucidates the ways in which the directorâ (TM)s stylistic approach intensifies the significance of a range of social and cultural questions affecting Western society, issues that lie at the heart of his films. Reviews of the Book: Giuseppe Tornatore is one of the few authentically original voices to emerge in the cinematic world over the past quarter century. He champions community values, solidly grounded in emotional engagement and interaction, over the brash, loud, self-proclaiming egocentricity that has increasingly dominated western societies since the nineteen-eighties and, paradoxically, isolated the individual ever more intensely within his own subjective world. Yet, viewed superficially, his narratives appear old-fashioned, flirting frequently and precariously with overt melodrama and sentimentalism while managing nevertheless to mount a powerful critique of what our societies have become and what they have sacrificed that makes them the poorer. Eschewing the alienating, ironical deconstructionism of most of his contemporaries, Tornatore subtly employs every technical device at his disposal to enforce the spectatorâ (TM)s identification with the wistfulness of his protagonists, in their growing awareness of a sense of personal loss and nostalgia. Yet, this fulfils only part of his intention, for having snared us in a tangle of emotions, he then, in Pirandellian fashion, propels us towards the moment of intellectually-charged reflection, in which the filmâ (TM)s apparently negative terminus ad quem is transformed into the forceful negation of those contemporary values that have brought about the protagonistâ (TM)s sense of moral and affective dislocation. William Hopeâ (TM)s authoritative study carefully charts these processes as they unfold within individual films and across successive films, not neglecting, when appropriate, to comment on Tornatoreâ (TM)s continual refinements and extensions of his conceptual framework and applications of his visual techniques. However, this book goes well beyond illustration of a thesis for it is also concerned with how we watch films and react to them and how, through carefully judged juxtapositions of his material, use of cameras, variations in intensity of music or silences, and so on, Tornatore is able to make use of this essentially psychological knowledge to manoeuvre his spectators towards a realisation of his own cinematic, which is to say, moral vision of the contemporary world. Professor Doug Thompson, University of Hull William Hope's work gives to the cinema of Tornatore the degree of analytical thoroughness that it merits, (but which, until now, has not been afforded to this important contemporary director). The book offers a clear overview of Tornatore's films, and of the social and cultural context within which they are produced. Hope assesses the relevance of contemporary critical theory to the reception of Tornatore's work and especially to Cinema Paradiso. In so doing, he makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of Tornatore as a film-maker. Pauline Small, Queen Mary College, University of London

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian cinema is now regarded as one of the great cinemas of the world. Historically, however, its fortunes have varied. Following a brief moment of glory in the early silent era, Italian cinema appeared to descend almost into irrelevance in the early1920s. A strong revival of the industry which gathered pace during the 1930s was abruptly truncated by the advent of World War II. The end of the war, however, initiated a renewal as films such as Roma città aperta (Rome Open City), Sciuscià (Shoeshine, 1946), and Ladri di biciclette (Bicycle Thieves, 1948), flagbearers of what soon came to be known as Neorealism, attracted unprecedented international acclaim and a reputation that only continued to grow in the following years as Italian films were feted worldwide. Ironically, they were celebrated nowhere more than in the United States, where Italian films consistently garnered the lion's share of the Oscars, with Lina Wertmüller becoming the first woman to ever be nominated for the Best Director award. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Italian Cinema contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 400 cross-referenced entries on major movements, directors, actors, actresses, film genres, producers, industry organizations and key films. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Italian Cinema.
