Ryuichi Sakamoto: CODA
Stephen Nomura Schible / Japan, United States / 2017 / East European Premiere / 101 min.
synopsis
A portrait of a composer who is considered the founder of modern pop music in Japan, and who is also a legend of international film music (The Last Emperor, Little Buddha, The Revenant). We are reminded of the fragility of the world by Sakamoto’s cancer and by the destruction in the wake of the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The film is both highly personal and very social.
