Lele Marchitelli

lele marchitelli, man, what a wild ride through the world of film and tv scores. if you’ve ever watched something and felt your heart twist up or wanted to just vibe to the background music, there’s a good chance lele’s fingerprints are all over it. people know him for that hauntingly gorgeous soundtrack in “there’s still tomorrow” from 2023, and honestly, the music almost tells its own story—kind of aching, a little nostalgic, like a memory you can’t quite shake. then there’s “the young pope,” which, let’s be real, is kind of a fever dream of a series anyway. the soundtrack? totally on another level. lele somehow balanced classic sacred music with weird, modern beats, so you’re watching jude law parade around in papal robes with this soundtrack that just doesn’t let you get comfortable. it’s genius, really. now, don’t even get me started on “the great beauty” from 2013. the film is like a love letter to rome, but the music? pure poetry. marchitelli weaves these lush, dreamy melodies that practically float through the air, wrapping every scene in bittersweet glamour. you watch toni servillo’s character drift through those endless roman nights, and lele’s music just nails that feeling of beauty and loneliness all tangled up together. honestly, if you’re a fan of scores that don’t just sit in the background but actually mess with your head a little, marchitelli is the guy. he takes every project and gives it this extra layer—sometimes subtle, sometimes totally in-your-face, but always unforgettable. kind of like a secret ingredient you didn’t know you needed until it was already there.
