#RYUICHI SAKAMOTO CODA ARCHIVE#

Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda is his first feature film as a director. Stephen directed/produced the music documentary Eric Clapton: Sessions for Robert J, which aired on BBC and PBS. He was one of the producers for Sofia Coppola's Oscar-winning Lost in Translation, and was responsible for all Japanese aspects of the production. After serving as an AD to documentarian Kazuo Hara (Emperor's Naked Army Marches On), he worked as a producer's rep for Japanese films such as Shinji Aoyama's Eureka and Naomi Kawase's Firefly, and oversaw international co-productions such as H-Story by Nobuhiro Suwa. Stephen grew-up in Tokyo and studied film at NYU. Indeed, when watching the documentary, audiences forget that they are watching anything at all, as Schible's intimate, solemn, and kind portrait of Sakamoto makes us feel that we are his confidant, and that we have known him for lifetimes. These recordings, with the exception of 'Japan' and 'Coda' are also available as a cassette/booklet published by Shisakusha.

#RYUICHI SAKAMOTO CODA ARCHIVE#

From 2012 to 5 years, Ive been interviewed closely, and Im going to follow sakamotos music quest while weaving archive footage. Director Stephen Nomura Schible is kind with his presentation of Sakamoto, as he never presents his subject beyond that of an ordinary man with extraordinary talent. Includes two 11' x 11' inserts (color photo of Ryuichi Sakamoto & track listing) All titles except 'Japan' and 'Coda' originally recorded for the soundtrack of the motion picture 'Merry Christmas Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto: CODA (2017) Screening Time 102 minutes Director Steven no A documentary that followed the musician ryuichi sakamoto. Nothing, save for the sober mention of throat cancer, seems to blemish Sakamoto's presence, and the documentary itself is subtle with gentle pacing and monochrome hues. While some may bemoan the lack of further biographical details, the elements that the documentary does focus on paint a fully-realized picture. This intimate portrait explores SakamotoвЂ™s return to music following a cancer diagnosis, leading to the creation of a haunting new masterpiece. Audiences are with Sakamoto as he makes his breakfast, eats his pills, travels through Tokyo, and works in his recording room-there are even moments where audiences see his handsome smile. Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda is a sumptuous snapshot of a creative genius who views the beauties of the natural world in an electrifying way all of his own. One of the most important artists of our era, Ryuichi SakamotoвЂ™s career spans from techno-pop stardom to Oscar-winning composer and anti-nuclear activist. Rather than focus on Sakamoto's achievements, however, Coda is a documentary that looks poignantly at the artist's life, choosing instead to portray Sakamoto as a soft-spoken, eloquent, reflective, and even humorous individual. Ryuichi Sakamoto is an OscarВ®-winning composer whose synth-pop exploration in music revolutionized the genre. An intimate portrait of a man, Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda focuses on the life of a brilliant, musical paragon who must accept his diagnosis of throat cancer whilst coming to terms with his aging genius.
