Italian composer, famous for his Spaghetti Western scores, honoured for his work on The Best Offer.
Ennio Morricone is one of the first six winners announced by the European Film Academy who will be honoured at this year’s 26th European Film Awards.
The 84-year-old Italian composer, best known for his scores to Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti Westerns such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, has been recognised by Efa for his work on Giuseppe Tornatore’s The Best Offer.
The jury praised Morricone for “proving once again his extraordinary capacity of always renewing his style while remaining faithful to the style of the director and the film – a universal composer, indeed, and a true master.”
A seven-member jury convened in Berlin and, based on the Efa Selection list, decided on the winners in the categories cinematography, editing, production design, costume design, composer and sound design.
This new addition to the awards procedures follows a decision...

The Italian Key
Directed by Rosa Karo
Written by Rosa Karo
The Italian Key is the feature debut for Finnish writer/director, Rosa Karo. In her film, she explores a fairytale-esque scenario of a 19-year-old orphaned girl named Cabella and her adventures in Italy. Karo’s primary goal in the feature was to bring about sensations of happiness, joy and fulfillment without the use of sex, drugs or violence – or any action for that matter. The film’s largest conflict is waylaid in moments and the film resumes it’s peaceful trotting pace towards the end.
In the film, Cabella (played by newcomer Gwendolyn Anslow) has never known her parents and has lived with her non-related Uncle Max for as long as she can remember. When Max dies and his upper-class relatives claim everything, Cabella only inherits an old key that Max has left her in secret. Sad and without much to look forward to,...

Arn: The Knight Templar
by Neil Pedley
Sweden is an odd little land, not unlike America in that they like stories about themselves and sod everyone else. Over there, the literary adventures of enigmatic homicide detective Kurt Wallander, for example, outsell those of Harry Potter. Sweden also has no movie studios perse, with virtually all funding trickling through the nepotistic iron fist of the Swedish Film Institute, which recently elected to shift it's focus to fewer films, but...

Opened: Friday, June 6 (Picturehouse). Production: CTB Film Co./Andreevskiy Flag Co/X-Filme Creative Pool/Kinofabrikia.
Long on ethnographic detail and visual splendor but short on narrative coherence, Sergei Bodrov's "Mongol" relates the story of Genghis Khan's early years in a plodding, uninspired fashion that doesn't bode well for the next two entries in a planned trilogy. The film, which snared a best foreign-language film Oscar nomination representing Kazakhstan, feels far longer than its two-hour running time.
Leading Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano plays the leading role of the famous 13th century conqueror, born with the name Temudgin and depicted here as a sensitive soul, loving husband and doting father. The screenplay, written by Bodrov and Arif Aliyev, begins the tale with Temudgin's childhood and his rude introduction to adult responsibilities when his tribal chief father is fatally poisoned by a rival.
It then proceeds to chart Temudgin's personal life -- including his devoted relationship to his wife, Borte (Kulan Chuluun), with whom he becomes betrothed while still a child -- and his rocky road to becoming emperor of the previously divided Mongol tribes, overcoming such early travails as enslavement and banishment along the way.
Despite the film's numerous tender moments, it's clearly the large-scale battle scenes that are its raison d'etre, and they are executed with suitable lavishness and raucous energy. Thankfully employing a minimum of CGI effects, the director lays on the violent gore in loving slo-mo fashion that should well appease action fans annoyed at having to read subtitles.
The film, which ends just as its central figure is about to begin his quest for world domination under his better-known moniker, is best appreciated for its rigorous attention to physical details, from its gorgeous locations to its detailed re-creation of its exotic milieu.Cast: Tadanobu Asano, Honglei Sun, Kulan Chuluun, Odnyam Odsuren, Aliya, Ba Sen, Amadul Mamadakov, Ba Yin. Director: Sergei Bodrov. Screenwriters: Sergie Bodrov, Arif Aliyev. Executive producers: Bob Berney, Bulat Galimgereyev, Alec Schulmann. Producers: Sergey Selyanov, Sergei Bodrov, Anton Melnik.
