One of the most important artistic minds of our era, Ryuichi Sakamoto has had a prolific career spanning over four decades, from techno-pop star, to actor, to Oscar-winning film composer. Returning to music after a battle with cancer, Sakamoto threw himself headlong into the creation of two new masterworks — his critically acclaimed album async and the breathtaking score for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s The Revenant. Granted unprecedented access to its subject, Stephen Nomura Schible’s intimate and illuminating film is a gentle meditative examination of Sakamoto’s life, his creative process and his quest for “a perpetual sound”.
