The Profile

Ennio Morricone (1928–2020) was an Italian composer and conductor best known for his film scores, including extensive work in Italian cinema and internationally acclaimed soundtracks.

Publicly verifiable: Morricone was Italian (born in Rome) and is widely recognized for film composition; he received an Academy Honorary Award (2006) and won the Academy Award for Best Original Score for The Hateful Eight (2016). Reviews also reference his Lifetime Achievement Oscar and describe a catalogue of “over five hundred” works.

Across 12 reviews, Morricone is praised as a master of film music whose themes can be devastatingly emotional, technically refined, and surprisingly experimental. Users highlight orchestral/choral grandeur (The Mission), bittersweet nostalgia (Once Upon a Time in America), and daring atonal or rock-tinged thrills (Argento-related works, Crime and Dissonance). Several reviews insist the music works even without the images—and may even push you back into rewatching the films.
