Sergio Leone

Sergio Leone was born in Rome on January 3, 1929. A major figure of the seventh art, Sergio Leone had not always been critically acclaimed. Producer, screenwriter and director, he showed his different facets.
He is mainly associated with the Western Spaghetti genre. His film-making style includes juxtaposing extreme close-up shots with lengthy long shots. He also established Clint Eastwood as a star and revealed Ennio Morricone’s talent as a composer whose music was put forward in his films.
A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly are film classics and are still admired by Quentin Tarantino so far.
