When Ryuichi Sakamoto died last March at 71, the world lost one of its great musicians: a classical composer, a techno-pop artist, and a piano soloist who elevated every genre he worked in and inspired music lovers across the globe. As a final gift, filmmaker Neo Sora (Sakamoto’s son) constructed this stunning elegy starring Sakamoto himself in one of his final performances, in Tokyo in 2022.
This intimate and beautiful one-man show features just Sakamoto and a Yamaha grand, as the composer glides through his most haunting, delicate melodies. This unique work was described by the 2023 New York Film Festival as “bringing us so close to a living, breathing artist that it feels like pure grace.” In Japanese with English subtitles. (102 min.)
