"The images of the war that come from Ukraine are too strong to be reproducible, to be simulated. It would be too much of a challenge for any director. Sure there will be many films in the future that will want to tell what is happening so close to us, but if it were up to me I would have a very strong story, but I would never try to tell this war with images ".
So this morning, in connection from his house, the Oscar winner Giuseppe Tornatore closed the press meeting at the Petruzzelli in Bari after the screening of his ENNIO.
That is to say that small-large documentary portrait in the round by Ennio Morricone, already out of competition at the Venice Film Festival.
And more about the war.
says the director of NUOVO CINEMA PARADISO: "Compared to those of the past there are many live and non-live images of this conflict. Not as a director, but as a simple citizen, I am really outraged by what is happening and, above all, that everything this could have happened despite the progress and civilization of our world ".
As for ENNIO, the result of a very long interview with Morricone and over seventy testimonies about the musician, Tornatore again says: "I imagined that the film, from the point of view of style, should relate to music, be a slave to Morricone's music. . That is to say that the whole visual system followed the laws of the musical score ".
