Sakamoto\u2019s career in film scoring began auspiciously with his work on Nagisa \u014cshima\u2019s 1983 <i>Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence<\/i>, in which he also starred opposite David Bowie and Takeshi Kitano. The music of <i>Mr. Lawrence<\/i>, which combines synthesizers, orchestral arrangements, and traditional Japanese instruments, was immediately recognized as a major accomplishment and marked the beginning of a remarkable 40-year run of film scoring that saw Sakamoto collaborate with such directors as Bernardo Bertolucci, Pedro Almod\u00f3var, Jun Ichikawa, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and Alejandro G. I\u00f1\u00e1rritu. Always a musical pioneer, never content with the commonplace, Sakamoto\u2019s film work was only one facet of his extraordinary creative life, but it would have been more than enough by itself to make him a legend.<\/p>\n<p>The series will welcome special guests to Metrograph, including <b>Apichatpong Weerasethakul<\/b>, who will be in attendance on <b>May 7<\/b> to present a special screening of his short, <i>first light<\/i>, alongside the three films that would win the async short film competition, a 2017 collaboration between Weerasethakul and Sakamoto launched in conjunction with the release of Sakamoto&#8217;s album by the same name. Following the screening, for the first time in the United States, an <i>async surround<\/i> (Ryuichi Sakamoto + Shiro Takatani) album-listening event will take place in the theater.<\/p>\n<p>Titles include the special <i>async <\/i>screening and event<i>,<\/i>\u00a0<i>The Last Emperor<\/i>, <i>Love is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon<\/i>, <i>Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence,<\/i> <i>The Revenant<\/i>, <i>Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda<\/i>, and a new transfer of <i>Tony Takitani<\/i>, which will be doing a week-long run In Theater.<\/p>\n<p>Sakamoto&#8217;s audiovisual series<i> <\/i><b><i>incomplete<\/i><\/b> can be experienced in Metrograph&#8217;s lobby from <b>May 5 to\u00a0May 26<\/b>.
