Ennio Morricone

It was 1969, a peculiar period from a social and political point of view. A disillusioned communist, ex partisan, and nephew of an important figure in the Salò Republic decides to dedicate himself to cinema, becoming a director after having been an intellectual. We are talking about Maurizio Liverani, director of this strange movie in which he denounced the ambiguities of the communist political class in a way that at the time speaking was deemed scandalous. It features a good cast starring the Austrian actor Helmut Berger, famous for his performances in Luchino Visconti, Vittorio De Sica and Francis Ford Coppola movies. The wonderful score by Maestro Ennnio Morricone, released in the past by CAM on a double bill together with ''Stark System,'' is available once again in this expanded edition. It's a great soundtrack of important artistic valor, generated in one of the moments of high inspiration and evolution of the composer's style. You can't miss it - a promise you can heed blindfolded!

Remastered in January 2013 at Beat Records Studios from the first-generation master tapes, the CD is released in a jewel case with a 12-page booklet containing in-depth liner notes on the movie, director and music, including a brief biography dedicated to Helmut Berger.
