Great looking film coming to Augusta courtesy of our friends at the Cinema Series. Not to be missed! Thursday September 13th
Your Cinema Series returns on Thursday, September 13 with RYUICHI SAKAMOTO: CODA, a filmed portrait that The Telegraph has deemed "one of the great documentaries about the creative process."
One of the most important artists of our era, Ryuichi Sakamoto has had a prolific career spanning over four decades, from techno-pop stardom to Oscar- winning film composer. The evolution of his music has coincided with his life journeys. Following Fukushima, Sakamoto became an iconic figure in Japan’s social movement against nuclear power. As Sakamoto returns to music following cancer, his haunting awareness of life crisis leads to a resounding new masterpiece. Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda is an intimate portrait of both the artist and the man.
