Barrìa is director Giuseppe Tornatore’s epic tale of life in a small Sicilian town from the 1920s onwards and is one of the most expensive Italian film productions ever.

Since Tornatore’s release of the art house classic Cinema Paradiso in 1989, Ennio Morricone has scored all his subsequent films. Morricone is widely regarded as one of the greatest film composers in screen history and benchmark titles in his 400+ scoring career include Sergio Leone’s “Dollars” trilogy, The Mission, Once Upon A Time In The West, Once Upon A Time In America and The Untouchables.

“Despite loving the film very much, I believe I didn’t go overboard this time. I didn’t shoot all the artillery toward the sky I believe, except in some moments” – Ennio Morricone

“After 20 years of collaboration it’s as if we find ourselves at the start of our very first project. I know that Ennio will give me every fibre of his musical sensibility and I know that his soundtrack will be extraordinary. I am certain of this before the project has begun.” – Giuseppe Tornatore
