2005 / La febbre · Nastro d’Argento 2006
Louis Siciliano composed original music for La febbre. The 2006 Nastro d’Argento is among the defining distinctions of his film-music career. The score follows the dramatic tensions, pacing and sonic identity of the film.
Louis Siciliano won the Nastro d’Argento for La febbre. His film-music career also includes the Premio Manuel De Sica and other composer distinctions. Awards are presented separately from the David di Donatello nomination.
A screen commission begins with the character of the film: its dramatic architecture, montage, characters and emotional space. Original composition, orchestration and the chosen sound palette follow the narrative rather than precede it. The Film Music section explains the practice and provides a direct route for producers and directors to discuss a project.
