日前剛結束的坂本龍一鋼琴獨奏會直播，是他自述為「很可能是最後一次了」的表演。 被樂迷暱稱為「教授」的坂本龍一，從20歲開始便持續創作不綴了50年，無論電子音樂、古典音樂、實驗前衛，不管流行或小眾，他都未曾停下尋找更多音樂的可能性的腳步。就算在癌症再次復發的這兩年，仍持續推出新作。 聽完音樂會後，是否湧起想複習他的電影配樂的心情？不如搭配這次的片單，照時間序一路爬梳坂本龍一的音樂創作歷程。 ▍俘虜：https://giloo.ist/video/606?episodeId=599 ▍末代皇帝：https://giloo.ist/video/607?episodeId=600 ▍遮蔽的天空：https://giloo.ist/video/680?episodeId=670
遮蔽的天空 - 正版電影線上看｜Giloo紀實影音1:34:03 論紀錄片的終章。 談（彈）了相對龐大的命題後，紀錄片末回到細瑣的、逐漸不靈活的日常：一年之末的冬季，窗外延展的枯枝和彈奏樂音的雙手疊影（請自行想像），終章的結尾孰輕孰重難以臆測，無論音樂或生命。 坂本一句日常的「真不妙」作為本片終止符，便讓人不自覺承接前述的內容，達到既輕且重的效果。以鋼琴比擬，彈在琴鍵的聲音無論多響，那最終會散掉，被吃進日常裡。 沒有聲音，還是要（想）繼續活下去。
人的一生中所剩的時間每一天都在減少，真實地生活下去，不對自己說謊。—— 坂本龍一

在坂本龍一的篇章裡 我們都是自由的音符 — 秋刀魚 サンマThere’s something magical about the seaside in summer— a charm that makes you forget time, inviting you to linger in the warmth of fleeting romance. Inspired by the Summer by the Sea feature in the latest issue of Japanese culture magazine Sanma, the editorial team curates a wistful film series set along the coastal towns of Japan’s Kanto region. These six summer films are perfect companions for the season’s memories. Wander through the nostalgic seaside home of Still Walking, soaking in the gentle friction of ordinary family life in Shōnan. Listen for the waves in the final notes of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s farewell. Escape into the dreamlike world of Swallowtail Butterfly and encounter the hallucinatory metropolis of Yen Town. Each of these cinematic landscapes captures a unique Japanese summer, stirring up the most enchanting waves in your heart. This summer, come watch the sea—and the films—with us.

To document an extraordinary soul through the lens is to constantly wrestle with the dilemma of completeness. How can one capture the vastness of a life within the limited time of a film? It challenges the filmmaker’s depth of understanding and precision of perspective. Rather than striving for an all-encompassing portrait, it may be more powerful to focus on select moments—those glimmers that illuminate the subject’s essence. The camera becomes not only a tool to pierce through the surface, but also a means for sincere conversation with the person in front of it.
From international politics and music to film industry professionals and cultural icons—this curated selection of biographical documentaries offers intimate, eye-level encounters with influential figures across diverse fields. Through the lens, we gain rare insights into their lesser-known sides, and follow them as they navigate cultural clashes, personal revelations, and shifting global contexts. Each film invites you to explore contemporary issues through the lived experiences of extraordinary individuals shaped by history.
Japan—a land of paradox and fascination—has long captivated travelers from afar. With deep-rooted traditions that have withstood over 150 years of rapid Westernization, Japan continues to preserve a unique national identity and way of life, while also giving rise to a distinct and globally influential pop culture. This month, Giloo Documentaries presents a curated selection of films that explore the many faces of Japan. Journey with us across mountains and oceans, through surface and depth—encountering the worlds of fashion, Takarazuka theater, love hotels, fine cuisine, robotics, and contemporary art. Modern Japan is vibrant, eclectic, and often wildly unexpected—and these films capture its raw, untamed spirit.
Some films stay with us because of their music— a great score can breathe an entirely new soul into a story. Think of your favorite movie. Chances are, the first thing that comes to mind is a melody. Giloo presents five carefully selected films that explore the creative worlds behind unforgettable film music. We hope one of them strikes a chord with you.
Music and sound may seem fleeting, yet they leave lasting impressions in the hearts of listeners—sometimes even becoming songs passed down through time. Beyond sensory pleasure, the act of creating sound often carries a message shaped by a specific social context. Whether it is to resist mediocrity or to resonate with the land of daily life, sound conveys cultural memory and helps bring individuals together.
Cinema is undoubtedly another path through which we enter the world. Ingmar Bergman wandered between God and demons, using his own life to probe the depths of emotion—only to discover that solitude was all he ever truly possessed. Yayoi Kusama poured her life into art, fleeing Japan for New York, only to confront the raw realities of gender, race, and power. Destroyed, reborn, and now radiant on the world stage. Vivienne Westwood broke all conventions—proclaiming taboo love and building a punk fashion empire in the heart of London. Music maestro Ryuichi Sakamoto, upon his cancer diagnosis, revisited the delicate bond between life and sound, letting us glimpse his final chapter in all its intimate, everyday details. And then there’s Imelda Marcos—the woman behind three thousand pairs of shoes. In her quest to restore the Marcos regime, she spared no effort. To her, power, money, and beauty are inseparable. But above all, she reminds the world: only a mother’s love can embrace everything. “I am the mother of the Philippines—and of the world. Love. Money.”
Music is the voice of a generation’s thoughts—fleeting, perhaps, but powerful enough to leave a lasting mark on those who listen. Some tell their stories through melodies; others move us with the raw emotion of their voices. They sing for themselves, for their time—and in doing so, they become legends. Giloo presents 10 biographical films about iconic musicians. Discover how they used music to tell the story of their era—and their lives.
Sometimes, music captures a fleeting moment more fully than images ever could. The piano theme from Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence suspends time, drifting through the gunpowder-scented air of Java. Takeshi Kobayashi’s lush symphonies send the Swallowtail Butterfly fluttering, while a mysterious chanteuse hums the blurred lines between reality and youth. In Maborosi, guitar and erhu compose a haunting melancholy. Hop aboard Giloo’s time machine, built from melody and memory, and return to every moment that once moved you.
