Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus Synopsis
Filmed across a week at his home just a few months before he died from cancer, this simple, pensive, poignant concert film comprises 20 pieces selected and performed by Ryuichi Sakamoto from across his long and prolific career, from his popstar Yellow Magic Orchestra period, to his magnificent film scores (The Last Emperor; Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence), to music from his meditative final album, 12.
A celebration of an artist's life in the purest sense, Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus is the definitive swan song of the beloved maestro.
