Ryuichi Sakamoto - The Revenant (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (2023)

Even though his score <i>Furyo de Nagisa Oshima</i> has since entered into legend (closely followed by that of <i>The Last Emperor</i> by Bernardo Bertolucci), Ryuichi Sakamoto has worked with many other filmmakers, including Pedro Almodóvar and Brian De Palma. With <b>The Revenant</b>, he adds Alejandro González Iñárritu to his growing list. The Mexican director used his work <i>World Citizen</i> (co-written with David Sylvian) in his film <i>Babel</i> back in 2006, but had never placed an order for a complete score. For this long, flamboyant film - in which blood and violence feature heavily - Sakamoto takes the opposite direction with his music: slow and progressive themes; sublime soundscapes. This contemplative mood, which can at times be oppressive, was designed by Sakamoto with the help of a colleague, spawning electronic music with which he also works regularly. American Bryce Dessner also features, guitarist of indie band <b>The National</b> and also a contemporary music composer. Together, the three musicians sculpt a masterful score, combining acoustic and electronic, and, like all great soundtracks, it can be enjoyed with eyes closed.
