Last week it looked like Italian composer extraordinaire Ennio Morricone had some unsavory feelings about his great admirer Quentin Tarantino. Morricone reportedly told a group of Italian students, “I wouldn’t like to work with [Tarantino] again, on anything,†and that QT “places music in his films without coherence.†Now Morricone tells EW it was a misunderstanding, “a partial writing of my thoughts which has deprived the true meaning of what I said, isolating a part from the rest.†He adds that he has “great respect†for Tarantino and was glad to collaborate.
