Ryuichi Sakamoto, one of the world’s preeminent composers, an electronic music pioneer, and a revered pianist, passed away in March 2023 at the age of 71. His work, including scores for films by Hirokazu Koreeda, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, and Bernardo Bertolucci, influenced and inspired artists and audiences alike, and his passing was felt around the world. Filmed in late 2022 by Sakamoto’s son, RYUICHI SAKAMOTO | OPUS is an intimate and exquisite one-man show, and one of Sakamoto’s final performances. There is no audience with him as he sits behind his piano, and few words are spoken. A stirring farewell and a fitting elegy, this portrait is—like the artist himself—a wonder to behold.
