Ryuichi Sakamoto: CODA

Ryuichi Sakamoto, the legendary Japanese composer whose scores defined films like 'The Last Emperor' and 'Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence', is immersed in the act of creation. The camera trails him into the silent studio where sounds are conjured from nothing, into the forest where he listens to the rustle of leaves, and back through his history with Yellow Magic Orchestra. This is not a life chronology but a meditation on the nature of sound, time, and memory, captured in moments of profound vulnerability following a life-altering illness.
