Schible's documentary - while not particularly well shot - is a very useful insight into the work of a major composer.

Those who are interested in how documentarians capture artistry on film will find good examples in Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda. It helps to come to the film with some foreknowledge of Sakamoto's career, however.

Isn't a life story or a deep-dive character study. Rather it is a heartfelt mediation on the creative process, with elegantly presented ideas on nature, music, mortality and things out of tune.

Ryuichi Sakamoto: CODA flows with the same haunting grace that latches itself on to one of Sakamoto's iconic scores or compositions.
