In this engrossing documentary, Giuseppe Tornatore pays heartfelt tribute to legendary film composer and collaborator Ennio Morricone. While the maestro regales us with vivid accounts of his life and art, colleagues and famous fans—from Clint Eastwood to Bruce Springsteen—reflect on his legacy.

Winner of the FIPRESCI award, this haunting portmanteau from director Marco Bellocchio is a shrewd social commentary steeped in striking gothic imagery. Set in a convent-prison, the film shifts from past to present, crafting a story that is a love letter to Italy’s past and a critique of its stasis.
