Sergio Leone: The Italian Who Invented America
Sergio Leone: The Italian Who Invented America pays homage to the pioneer of the spaghetti western, Italian film director Sergio Leone, whose iconic films like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West made him one of the most influential filmmakers in history, catapulted Clint Eastwood to stardom, and inspired some of the biggest directors working today.
Drawing on archive footage of Leone himself, the film features interviews with collaborators and artists who were influenced by his work, including directors Clint Eastwood, Damien Chazelle, Darren Aronofsky, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and Steven Spielberg, well as comic book legend Frank Miller and Oscar-winning composer Ennio Morricone.
Sergio Leone: The Italian Who Invented America premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was named Documentary of the Year by the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists.
