“I WAS BORN into cinema,” Sergio Leone once said. “I learnt to say ‘cut’ before I said ‘Momma’.”
This passion for movies — his own, those of his heroes, films in general —courses through Christopher Frayling’s Sergio Leone By Himself, a visually gorgeous overview of the Italian director’s life and works. With his critical study Spaghetti Westerns and the biography Something To Do With Death, Frayling is Leone’s foremost chronicler and he brings all that knowledge and erudition —which he wears very lightly —to bear here.
