Oscar-winning Italian composer Nino Rota, who scored “La Dolce Vita,” “The Leopard” and “The Godfather” – among many other masterpiece movies – is set for “Nino” a high-profile documentary being directed by prominent editor, screenwriter and director Walter Fasano.
Rota wrote the score for 16 films directed by Federico Fellini, including “La Strada,” “8 1/2,” “Juliet of the Spirits” and “Amarcord,” besides “La Dolce Vita.” He also composed music for Franco Zeffirelli’s “Romeo and Juliet” and the Sicilian-inspired theme for “The Godfather,” whose “Part II” score won him his only Oscar. Rota’s 150 films also included collaborations with King Vidor (“War and Peace”) and Luchino Visconti (“The Leopard”). Rota died at 68 in 1979.
Shooting is underway in Italy’s Apulia region – where Rota lived part of his life in the port city of Bari – on Fasano’s film that will interweave archive materials and interviews with big names who worked with the maestro or were deeply influenced by him, including director Park Chan-Wook, Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat, and seven-time Grammy Award winning conductor and arranger Vince Mendoza.
