Winner of the Queer Palm and Best Screenplay at Cannes, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s intricately structured drama delves into the fragility of boyhood. Bookended by fires and storms, delicate feelings of anger, confusion, and love swell through an exquisite final score from the late maestro Ryuichi Sakamoto.

An eye-opening look at Ryuichi Sakamoto’s life, work, and creative process, this portrait shows an artist aware of his responsibility to the world around him. His fascination with the beauty and violence of both nature and humanity is all the more moving as he candidly reflects on his own mortality.

Following the explosive 13 Assassins, the iconoclastic Takashi Miike revisited the samurai genre with this underrated remake of the 1962 classic Harakiri. Scored by the legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto, Death of a Samurai is an elegant reckoning with notions of sacrifice and duty in the 17th century.

As a special treat after our release of Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda is this sensorial immersion into a rare concert experience. Watch the great composer perform the debut of his latest musical masterpiece, with accompanying video imagery by Shiro Takatani and experimental filmmaker Takashi Makino.

Crackling with ideas like feedback on a video monitor, Nam June Paik was dubbed the “Nostradamus of the digital age” for his piercing insight into the modern media landscape. Voiced by Steven Yeun, Amanda Kim’s eclectic portrait paints a vivid picture of Paik’s outlandish, boundary-pushing vision.
