One of Ennio Morricone's most beautiful and famous creations - the simple melody that Father Gabriel plays on his oboe - is first heard in a tense scene that manages several highs and lows in a matter of minutes. If the filmmakers were going to convince us that music could be used to bridge a vast language and cultural gap, it needed to be a sublime melody - and Morricone delivered.
Starring Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons, Liam Neeson and Aidan Quinn. Directed by Roland Joffé, and featuring the famous and stunning music by Ennio Morricone.
