description
Digitmovies is proud to present for the first time the complete score by Ennio Morricone for the 1969 movie I Cannibali directed by Liliana Cavani and starring Britt Ekland, Pierre Clementi, Tomas Milian.
I Cannibali, the second collaboration between director Cavani and composer Morricone after Galileo.
At the time of this film's release, only a 45 RPM single was released containing the shortened versions of the two title songs Cannibal and Song of life performed by Don Powell and the Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni.
One year later the Song of life was also included on a rare promotional EP.
In 1982 Cerberus Records (USA) released a double feature LP containing as Side B the unedited versions of the songs and 6 instrumental selections from Morricone's score.
The same selections and the single version songs were first released on CD in 1992 as a part of CAM's much appreciated Soundtrack Encyclopedia.
Thanks to the always precious help of friends at CAM, the complete mono session master tapes have been discovered recently, that made us possible to release the complete score with film versions and interesting unused takes.
The music of Ennio Morricone provides a perfect background for the strong realism of the images.
The composer has created a series of fascinating instrumental variations based on the two main theme songs Cannibal and Song of life that brilliantly gives to the listener the right music mood influenced by the weird plot:
the Cannibal theme is reprised with atonal strings and reverberated electric guitar (Tr. 3) with a Beat groove organ (Tr. 7).
The motif is also reprised in Dove Sei, Dove Siete Voi with choir (tr. 4) with organ (Tr. 10) with oboe (Tr. 16) then in a wild shake (Tr. 14) and in a terrific (Unused) version with guitar (Tr. 18).
The Song Of Life theme is presented with liturgical organ, giving a delicate sense of sacred and profane (tr. 2) with choir (Tr. 6) and with electric piano (Tr. 12).
Ennio Morricone provided another other cool theme called Scherzo Rondo (Tr. 5 and Tr. 11), a weird theme with classic style piano a la H2S accompanied by rhythmic alternated to Latin Shake music with choir.
Another great Italian Silver Age score rescued and preserved in its complete form in a de-luxe presentation.
 
story

This story of youthful rebellion is taken from the ancient Greek classic Antigone.
The setting is modern times and Britt Eklund plays Antigone in a fictitious land where reality is suspended.
Haimon (Tomas Milian) goes against the wishes of his father and the prime minister by wanting to become an animal.
Tiresias (Pierre Clementi) plays a Christ-like figure.
The only resemblance between this version and the ancient tragedy is that the three principle characters are slated for an uncertain future among the living.
The film was shown at the 1970 New York Film Festival.

Cast:
Pierre Clementi, Britt Ekland, Tomas Milian, Francesco Leonetti, Delia Boccardo, Marino Mase', Cora Mazzoni, Francesco Arminio, Alessandro Cane, Giampiero Frondini
