#happy birthday

On November 10, 1928, Ennio Morricone was born, an Italian composer, arranger and conductor. Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. Winner of two Academy Awards: for outstanding achievements in cinematography (2007) and for best music — for the "Disgusting Eight" (2016), 9-time winner of the Italian National Film Award "David di Donatello" for best film music, three-time winner of the Golden Globe Award, 6-time winner of the award BAFTA and many others.

Ennio Morricone was born in Rome, the son of professional jazz trumpeter Mario Morricone and housewife Libera Ridolfi. Ennio was the eldest of five children. When he was 12 years old, he entered the Conservatory of St. Cecilia in Rome, where Goffredo Petrassi became his teacher. At the Conservatory, Morricone received 3 diplomas — in the class of trumpet (1946), instrumentation and composition.

When Morricone turned 16, he took the place of the second trumpet in the Alberto Flamini ensemble, in which his father had previously played. Together with the ensemble, Morricone worked part-time playing in nightclubs and hotels in Rome. A year later, he got a job at the theater, where he worked as a musician for one year, and then as a composer for three years. In 1950, he began arranging songs by popular composers for radio. He worked on processing music for radio and concerts until 1960, and in 1960 began arranging music for TV shows.

He began writing film music only in 1961, when he was 33 years old. He started with spaghetti westerns, a genre with which his name is now firmly associated. He became widely known after working on the films of his former classmate, director Sergio Leone. Later he worked with the largest Italian film directors — Bernardo Bertolucci, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Dario Argento, Salvatore Samperi and many others.

Since 1964, Morricone has worked at the RCA record company, where he arranged hundreds of songs, including for such celebrities as Gianni Morandi, Mario Lanza, Miranda Martino.

Having become famous in Europe, Morricone was invited to work in Hollywood cinema. In the USA, he wrote music for films by such famous directors as Roman Polanski, Oliver Stone, Brian De Palma, Mike Nichols, John Carpenter, Barry Levinson, Terrence Malick and others.

Ennio Morricone is one of the most famous composers of our time and one of the most famous film composers in the world. During his long career, he has composed music for more than 400 films and television series in Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Russia, and the USA.

As a film composer, he was nominated for an Oscar six times, and in 2007 he received an Oscar for outstanding contribution to cinema. In addition, in 1988, he was awarded a Grammy Award for the music for the film "Untouchables". In 1996, Morricone, together with photographer Augusto De Luca, received the "Cities of Rome" award for the book "Our Rome".

Contrary to popular belief, Morricone created not only soundtracks, he also wrote chamber instrumental music, with which he toured Europe in 1985, personally conducting the orchestra at concerts.

Twice during his career, he starred in films for which he wrote music, and in 1995 a documentary was made about him.

The American band Metallica has been opening every concert since the mid-1980s with the composition "The Ecstasy Of Gold" from the classic western "The Good, the Bad, the Evil". In 1999, she was played in the S&M project for the first time in a live performance (cover version).

Ennio Morricone was married and has four children:

Andrea — conductor, composer;

Marko works for the Copyright Society;

Alessandra is a surgeon;

Giovanni works for Universal.

He was seriously interested in chess, and repeatedly played with world champions.

Ennio Morricone died on July 6, 2020 at the age of 92 in a hospital in Rome, where he had been hospitalized a few days earlier with a fractured femur sustained as a result of a fall.

"It always hurts me when talented people die, because the world needs them more than heaven."

§ 3.440. Malicia (Salvatore Samperi, 1973)

 Célebre cinta italiana semierótica de los años 70 con una gran Laura Antonelli que proyectó al estrellato al director y a la actriz. En ese tono de comedia ligera que tanto gusta al cine italiano narra el despertar sexual de un joven adolescente que tiene como objeto de deseo a la criada recién llegada a su casa para sustituir a su madre recién fallecida. Su padre y su otro hermano están exactamente igual de 'embolicados' que él de la muchacha. 

Es difícil tomarse el asunto en serio. La trama me llega lejos, el guión aunque interesante no pasa de ser una sucesión de tópicos mal organizados y repetitivos sobre un tema que no da para mucho más que lo que muestra.

Supongo que en su momento fue una cinta muy celebrada, pero ha pasado mal el tiempo por ella, no ha envejecido bien. Ni la carga erótica es tan elevada, como por ejemplo ocurre con Tinto Brass, ni el desarrollo dramático tiene una pulsión narrativa poderosa, como puede ocurrir con El último tango en París, por ejemplo, ni se caracteriza por tener un hilo distintivo peculiar, como ocurre con las de Hamilton. Se incrusta sin dificultad en ese cúmulo de cintas semieróticas de los años setenta que tuvieron su público y que vistas desde la perspectiva actual funcionan regular, por no decir mal. Ésta, sin embargo, debe ser de las mejores de la época, pues sigue teniendo predicamento.

Vor der Erfindung des Damenfahrrads: Alessandro Momo & Tina Aumont in MALIZIA

(Salvatore Samperi, Italien 1973, Dt.EA: 9.11.1973, Warner-Columbia Filmverleih, FSK ab 18) "Eine attraktive junge Hausangestellte, die an Stelle der verstorbenen Ehefrau und Mutter eine wohlhabende süditalienische Familie versorgt, löst exzessive sexuelle Spannungen und Rivalitäten zwischen dem Witwer und seinem pubertierenden Sohn aus. Ein formal - besonders in der Kameraarbeit - beachtlicher Film, der jedoch die Konflikte seiner Figuren einseitig auf den Bereich sexueller Beziehungen einengt und ihnen vor allem im Dialog eine vulgäre Färbung gibt."
