"By reinventing the western, popular genre par
excellence, Sergio Leone changed the face of cinema. The public immediately
made a triumphal welcome to his films while the critics did not understand that
the West no longer needed to be American as it was now anchored in the
universal imagination. Sergio Leone is a great filmmaker of the imagination.
As popular as an experimental, discoverer of Clint
Eastwood and Charles Bronson, Leone is now adulated by filmmakers around the
world as a huge formalist.
The exhibition and the book dedicated by La Cinémathèque
française and Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna propose to enter the laboratory of
a genius creator and discover the biographical springs of his work.
Composed of filmmaker's texts, testimonials from his
collaborators and critical essays, illustrated with filming photos and posters,
this book explores the many facets of a filmmaker who has founded his cinema on
his childhood dreams. "
Frédéric Bonnaud, managing director of La Cinémathèque française.
