To mark the thirtieth anniversary of Sergio Leone’s death, this documentary sets out to pay tribute to one of the great legends of world cinema. The singular artistic vision of Sergio Leone has transcended national borders, creating the Spaghetti Western genre and transforming the international cinematic panorama forever with his innovative stylistic and narrative solutions, which have now become part of the language of the movies. The film, which is enriched with precious archive footage from the Cineteca di Bologna, including rare audio recordings and film clips shot behind the scenes, sees for the first time the direct participation of the Leone family and has interviews both with Leone’s longtime collaborators and with icons of Hollywood who have been profoundly influenced by his work. This documentary paints an unprecedented picture of a visionary and deeply cultured man who had lived and breathed movies from his birth and whose idea of cinema continues to be central to its enjoyment and to contemporary debate over the medium.

A cut of soliloquies with greats reverently remembering a great. It's not entirely about Leone, it's not entirely about his body of work, it's not entirely about his legacy, it's not entirely about his influence on world cinema, it's not entirely about nostalgic memories and "set stories", it's not entirely about personal aspects. Basically, it’s like a shallow tour of Leone’s world. Useful only for someone who has no idea that Leone ever existed, that he had some of the best cinema to his credit and left behind a distinctive style that influenced many.
