Maestro

Ennio Morricone is having a New York moment.

At least in terms of dominating the city’s theatrical programming in early 2024, through a three-pronged approach:

Last month, MOMA wrapped a five-week retrospective of over 35 of the master composer’s movies.

IFC is currently in the middle of a two-week Dario Argento series, periodically scored by Morricone. 

And Dario makes an appearance in Ennio, a 156-minute talking-head documentary focused entirely on the titular honcho, now playing at Film Forum. 

Though not in NYC, Chicago’s Music Box brings a version of MOMA’s retrospective to the Windsy City, beginning March 21.
