Il nostro ricordo del Maestro Ennio Morricone (1928-2020)
Classe 1928, tra gli artisti più prolifici del panorama moderno e contemporaneo: questa notte è mancato Ennio Morricone, grande musicista e compositore, autore di alcune delle più belle colonne sonore del cinema italiano e mondiale.
Una carriera fatta di successi e premi, forse culminata con la vittoria dell’Oscar nel 2016 per la colonna sonora scritta per The Hateful Eight di Quentin Tarantino.
Morricone iniziò a suonare e scrivere musica negli anni Cinquanta e non si fermò mai: durante la sua vita lavorò con molti registi, componendo e arrangiando le colonne sonore di più di 500 film.
Indimenticabile il sodalizio con Sergio Leone, le cui immagini Morricone ha accompagnato e arricchito, ma non solo: il grande artista ha spesso collaborato in più occasioni con altri autori italiani e internazionali, tra cui spiccano Bertolucci, Tornatore, Argento, Petri, Malick, Carpenter. , Pasolini.
Per ricordare questo prolifico artista, ecco dieci significative colonne sonore (scelte con una certa fatica), in ordine rigorosamente cronologico, che hanno illuminato il suo percorso musicale e cinematografico.

Metti, una sera a cena (1969), “Love Circle”
Dramma da camera sopravvalutato tratto dall’omonima pièce del regista Giuseppe Patroni Griffi. Ma la musica di Morricone, una sorta di bossa nova ossessiva con note ridotte al minimo, resta impressa nella memoria fin dal primo ascolto; e vincono il Nastro d’Argento.
L’uccello dalle piume di cristallo (1970) The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
Prima dei Goblin e di Profondo rosso, Deep Red, c’era Ennio Morricone. E la collaborazione tra il compositore e Dario Argento (proseguita anche per i successivi Il gatto a nove code e 4 mosche di velluto grigio, The Cat o’ Nine Tails, and 4 mosche di velluto grigio, Four Flies on Grey Velvet) dà vita ad una colonna sonora iconica, omaggiata dallo stesso Tarantino in Grindhouse – A prova di morte, Death Proof.
Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto (1970), Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion
«Qualunque sia l’imposizione che ci fa, è un servitore della legge, quindi appartiene alla legge e sfugge al giudizio umano».
Splendido apologo sull’arroganza del potere e sul delirio di un burocrate frustrato, il film di Elio Petri decolla grazie all’interpretazione di Gian Maria Volonté e alla colonna sonora di Ennio Morricone (autore anche delle musiche dello straordinario La classe operaia va in paradiso, The Working Class Goes to Heaven, and Todo modo, One Way or Another).
Milano odia: la polizia non può sparare (1974), Almost Human
Umberto Lenzi dipinge una Milano senza speranza, tratteggiando un thriller dalle tinte torbide e regalando un villain da antologia, interpretato dall’allucinato e allucinato Tomas Milian. Con il contributo di un Morricone in stato di grazia: la colonna sonora del film è di quelle che non si dimenticano facilmente.
I giorni del cielo (1978), Days of Heaven
Inquietante fiaba nera diretta da Terrence Malick, regista di culto grazie alle sue visioni paesaggistiche venate di misticismo che esaltano la bestiale violenza umana. E Morricone riesce a cogliere perfettamente la poetica autoriale, componendo una musica dalla purezza cristallina e, allo stesso tempo, sottilmente angosciante, che merita la nomination all’Oscar e il Premio BAFTA.
La cosa (1982), The Thing
Ispirato da La cosa dell’altro The Thing from Another World (1951), John Carpenter creò un (sottovalutato, almeno all’epoca dell’uscita) horror fantascientifico, teso e claustrofobico, che segnò in modo significativo l’immaginario degli anni Ottanta. L’atmosfera angosciata è enfatizzata dalla musica di Morricone: sobria, minimale e scandalosamente candidata ai Razzie Awards per la peggiore colonna sonora. Vertici di triste stoltezza.
C’era una volta in America (1984), Once Upon a Time in America.
‘Il tempo non può intaccare.’
Opera monumentale, capolavoro senza tempo, struggente apologo sulla perdita dell’innocenza: Sergio Leone realizza il film che ha sognato per tutta la vita, consegnando al pubblico un testamento artistico e umano semplicemente sublime. Un lirismo immortalato da ogni gesto e inquadratura, reso ancora più toccante dalla colonna sonora del maestro Morricone che, tra tante perle, rende indimenticabile la sequenza della fuga dei piccoli protagonisti dal boss di quartiere.
Mission (1986), The Mission.
Nomination all’Oscar per Morricone che, convinto dal regista Roland Joffé, ha firmato una delle sue colonne sonore più memorabili, riuscendo ad accrescere il valore artistico di una pellicola non certo perfetta. Vincitore, invece, della Palma d’Oro al Festival di Cannes e dell’Oscar per la migliore fotografia di Chris Menges.
The Hateful Eight (2015)
Il film che ha regalato la statuetta a Morricone è un western con ambizioni pindariche di rivisitazione storica e politica. Quentin Tarantino colpisce nel segno, realizzando un’opera di grande maturità stilistica, impreziosita da una colonna sonora killer (ça va sans dire) in cui spicca la colonna sonora L’ultima diligenza di Red Rock, da The Hateful Eight.
