On March 28, 2023, world-renowned composer Ryuichi Sakamoto passed away. He continued to produce numerous works despite battling cancer for years, and orchestrated the final concert of his life. Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus is a concert film containing twenty of his compositions that span his entire life, from his time in Yellow Magic Orchestra to his last album 12. This film is also the ultimate gift from the gifted musician—a world where only he exists with the piano. Devoid of subtitles or narration, a 103-minute-long performance unfolds against a backdrop of vivid monochromatic visuals. The entirety of a day’s cycle, from pitch black night through early morning and afternoon and back to night again, is condensed in this film. Within lies a collection of twenty dramatic narratives, woven together by the breathtakingly beautiful and boundless universe born from the maestro’s fingertips. (KANG Sowon)
