RYUICHI SAKAMOTO, OPUS Official US Trailer
A celebration of an artists life in the purest sense, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Opus is the definitive swan song of one of the worlds greatest musicians. In late 2022, as a parting gift, Ryuichi Sakamoto mustered all of his energy to leave us with one final performance: a concert film featuring just him and his piano. Curated and sequenced by Sakamoto himself, the twenty pieces featured in the film wordlessly narrate his life through his wideranging oeuvre. The selection spans his entire career, from his popstar period with Yellow Magic Orchestra and his magnificent scores for filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci to his meditative final album, 12. Intimately filmed in a space he knew well and surrounded by his most trusted collaborators, including director Neo Sora, his son, Sakamoto bares his soul through his exquisitely haunting melodies, knowing this was the last time he would be able to present his art. Opens in select cities 3, 15
