  • A celebration of an artist’s life in the purest sense, Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus is the definitive swan song of one of the world’s greatest musicians. In late 2022, as a parting gift, Ryuichi Sakamoto mustered all of his energy to leave us with one final performance: a concert film featuring just him and his piano. Curated and sequenced by Sakamoto himself, the twenty pieces featured in the film wordlessly narrate his life through his wide-ranging oeuvre. The selection spans his entire career, from his pop-star period with Yellow Magic Orchestra and his magnificent scores for filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci to his meditative final album,12. Intimately filmed in a space he knew well and surrounded by his most trusted collaborators, including director Neo Sora, his son, Sakamoto bares his soul through his exquisitely haunting melodies, knowing this was the last time he would be able to present his art.
    Opens in select cities 3/15

    The greatest concert film I've ever seen. The whole theater sat in rapt silence until the final black screen post credits. Never seen that before. Truly stunning.

      Same thing yesterday night in a little theatre in Italy. A perfect silence...I tried not to disturb it with my tears. At the end a great applause.

    I'm here outside the theater in Fiesole, on a bench blowing my nose. I just went to see Ryuichi Sakamoto's film Testament. A terminally ill man who nevertheless exudes joy from his hands on his piano. My husband didn't come because he would have fallen asleep, my son said that lately he has discovered that Sakamoto helps him sleep, a girl at the theater in front of me was asleep... I don't find anything wrong with it. If someone with their music helps you forget about your problems and makes you relax to the point of being able to sleep, they are giving you a wonderful gift. However, he gave me a wonderful emotion, I never managed to see him live but even if he is dead his magic is not.

      In select theatres. I am not sure what city or state you're in, but maybe look at some of the smaller independent theatres near you? We're only going to have two showings of it here in Oregon, so I don't think it'll be wide spread ⚇

    spoiler ahead.
    When he played Opus at the end, then the piano continue the playing by itself, it made me tear up, He is gone but his music lives forever, RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto.

    I am 60 yrs old and just caught this last performance. And I was not familiar with his music. But I saw this, and am listening again and discovering for the first time. His music moves me, as it does for so many. Thank you Master, for this opportunity. A very low bow for you…..
