Ryuichi Sakamoto: CODA
A portrait of genius music composer Ryuichi Sakamoto.
An intimate portrait of a visionary composer grappling with mortality, environmental catastrophe, and the redemptive power of sound.
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.
