Program Note

On January 1, 1985, Once Upon a Time in America was first released worldwide. This film has been cited as the best film by cinephiles for 35 years since its release, and it is a masterpiece of the century that has as many versions as legends about it. This film, which begins in the era of prohibition, passes through the 1930s and 1960s, and ends again in the 1920s, is the posthumous work of director Sergio Leone, and avaluable film that made Ennio MORRICONE reach the top of his film music life. MORRICONE's music is one of the best contributors who led the tragedy of love and friendship and the frustrated American Dream of Jewish gangsters from the slums of New York to a masterpiece that is different from other gangster films.
