OPUS at Glasgow Film Festival

  • Glasgow Film Festival Glasgow, Scotland United Kingdom (map)

Composer Ryuichi Sakamoto takes centre stage with his piano in this intimate and moving concert-style film featuring music from across his whole career.

Oscar-winning Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto found his way to the hearts of millions with his music, including his scores for films as diverse as Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, The Last Emperor and The Revenant. He died from cancer at the age of 71 in March 2023, and in this intimate concert-style film his son Neo Sora gracefully captures one of his father’s final performances with a piano. Featuring music specially selected by Sakamoto, stretching back to his time with the Yellow Magic Orchestra, this is an elegant and elegiac journey through the maestro’s long and varied career.
