"Ars longa, vita brevis" – art is long, life is short. This is one of Japanese music icon Ryuichi Sakamoto's favorite quotes, and the message that he leaves for viewers at the end of his final concert film, shot before he succumbed to cancer in March 2023. Consisting of only Sakamoto and his piano, Opus features the final live performances of 20 songs that Sakamoto meticulously curated to encapsulate his distinguished 40-year career.

I don’t know how to feel, but I think that as an artist this is the closest thing to writing your own last words or obituary. It is truly a beautiful work of art RIP king

Imagine making a concert film of your dad’s final performance a few months before he succumbs to cancer. Unimaginable

De siste dagene så har jeg vært syk, og dermed også veldig emosjonell. Denne traff veldig. Sakamoto er en legende. Han spiller så fint her, og denne filmen er den perfekte svanesang og adjø.

The Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence performance is so beautiful. Watching him play his best song for the last time ever is very emotional.
