ENNIO MORRICONE REVIEWS, Part I-6

I MALAMONDO (1964)

I Malamondo is a sensationalist Italian documentary directed by Paolo Cavara with the outlandish tagline “bizarre activities of European youth,” which probably tells you all you need to know. It takes a scandalous and sordid look at young people doing all sorts of unusual things, ranging from nude skiing in Switzerland, to hog-butchering in Italy, and even taking part in an orgy in a graveyard. The film was quite notorious when it was first released in 1964, as it brought the recklessness and sexual liberation of kids across Europe firmly into the public eye

The film’s main theme, “Penso a Te,” actually starts out sounding much more like John Barry than Morricone, with a lazy, languid main theme performed on an electric guitar and accompanied by light strings and tapped snare drums . However, once the melody switches to a solo trumpet, and once the softly cooing choir comes in to back it, this becomes a prototypical Morricone piece, and in many ways can be seen as the origin of the style that graced so many spaghetti westerns over the years. Much of the rest of the score is similarly jazz-inflected, with numerous bossa nova and pop twist dance instrumentals.

The best release of the soundtrack is the version which came out in 1992 on CAM Records, which pairs around 45 minutes of score from I Malamondo with selections of music from the score for the 1971 film La Tarantola dal Ventre Nero. Once again, the main theme from “Penso a Te” can also be found on the comprehensive 15-CD compilation Ennio Morricone: The Complete Edition, released by GDM Music in 2008.
