One of the most important artists of our era, Ryuichi Sakamoto had a prolific career spanning over four decades, from techno-pop stardom to Oscar-winning film composer. The evolution of his music coincided with his life journeys. Following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, Sakamoto became an iconic figure in Japan’s social movement against nuclear power. As Sakamoto returned to music following a battle with cancer, his haunting awareness of life crisis lead to a resounding new masterpiece. Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda is an intimate portrait of both the artist and the man. Some of Sakomoto’s film score credits included Call Me By Your Name, The Revenant, The Last Emperor and Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.
