Festival Napa Valley: The Films of Ennio Morricone: Once Upon a Time in the West
Festival Napa Valley honors Ennio Morricone’s groundbreaking contributions to the Spaghetti Western. With Sergio Leone’s signature visual style, Once Upon a Time in the West is defined by Morricone’s haunting whistles and dramatic melodies. This film is a sweeping Western set in the dying days of the Old West, where a struggle to control water in a dusty desert town entangles three hardened gunmen in an epic clash of greed, honor, and revenge. One of the most iconic and influential films ever made, it features breathtaking cinematography and one of Morricone’s most revered scores.
The screening takes place at Jarvis Conservatory.
