Morricone: Tarantino "places music in his films without coherence"

The legendary film score composer Ennio Morricone has revealed that he'd never work with Quentin Tarantino again.

Speaking at a music, film and television class at Rome’s LUISS University this week, Morricone described how the pair's working relationship had soured since 2009.


“I wouldn’t like to work with him again, on anything,” Morricone told students.“He said last year he wanted to work with me again ever since 'Inglourious Basterds,' but I told him I couldn't, because he didn’t give me enough time. So he just used a song I had written previously.”

This was a reference to the fact that the 'Django Unchained' soundtrack included Morricone’s "Ancora Qui," sung by Elisa Toffoli, and some Morricone instrumental pieces.

Morricone continued in his dismissal of QT's talents by saying that the director: “places music in his films without coherence" and "you can't do anything with someone like that."

The 84-year old has provided music for over 500 films including some of the most iconic soundtracks for the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone such as 'A Fistful of Dollars' (1964) and 'The Good The Bad and the Ugly' (1966), so it also comes as a surprise that he wasn't particularly fond of Tarantino's last film.

Morricone said of 'Django Unchained':  "To tell the truth, I didn't care for it," he said. "Too much blood."
