Director Quentin Tarantino receives a lifetime achievement award in Rome from film music composer Ennio Morricone. The American will be honored by the Rome Film Festival on January 4. The film festival announced this on Friday. The awards ceremony will be preceded by a gala during which Tarantino's latest film Django Unchained will be shown. The film is his ode to old spaghetti westerns, for which Morricone wrote a lot of music.
