“A portrait of genius music composer Ryuichi Sakamoto.”

DocumentaryMusic

Oscar-winning composer Ryuichi Sakamoto weaves man-made and natural sounds together in his works. His anti-nuclear activism grew after the 2011 Fukushima disaster, and his career only paused after a 2014 cancer diagnosis.

VIBE

A deeply personal journey through sound and silence. It feels like a quiet meditation on life, loss, and the profound beauty found in the world's subtle noises, all guided by a master composer's gentle hand.
