Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus

This moving tribute to the late composer and musician speaks volumes about his enormous talent, pioneering work and dedication to his craft.

Directed with intimacy by the musician’s son, who was committed to filming the music in and of itself, we hear and see every moment of Sakamoto as he revisits many of his most distinctive compositions, including a selection of beloved film soundtracks. Shot in immaculate black and white, and within the confines of a sparse recording studio, this film delivers a tangible sense of being present at Sakamoto’s last performance.
