Ryuichi Sakamoto Concert Doc ‘Opus’ to Premiere With Live Streaming Event on the Criterion Channel (EXCLUSIVE)


Neo Sora's "Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus," featuring the late Japanese musical artist, will premiere in a live streaming event on Criterion Channel.

Speaking to Variety in March ahead of the theatrical release of “Opus,” Sora discussed his aim to “ record this performance in amber ” after his father had announced that he was undergoing cancer treatment. “As soon as the filmmaking process started, I definitely [felt] the burden of making sure to have all the technical aspects correct, because it is a performance, especially in his physical condition, was something that we can only capture one time.” Upon its addition to the streaming service’s programming library, Criterion will also premiere a new interview with Sora and cinematographer Bill Kirstein, the latest installment in their “Meet the Filmmakers” series.
