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.
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.
The Kishu An Book Festival aims to overturn the stereotype of books as dull or monotonous by infusing literature with vibrant musical elements and bringing artistic experiences into everyday life. Through engaging sessions led by guest speakers, participants are invited to discover how closely literature resonates with their own lives. The 2022 edition of the festival, themed “Musical Narrative: Music x Reading”, featured lectures, performances, an online film screening series, and a themed marketplace. It brought together music critics, writers, and singer-songwriters who navigate both the literary and musical worlds, sharing how they translate experiences between these forms and explore unique modes of expression and interpretation.
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.
"Through synchronicity, the subjective and objective worlds intertwine, allowing the psyche and the material to resonate." When we imagine the contours of things, the camera begins to speak. It casts light and sound, strikes chords of language, and imprints memory upon the screen. Five films. Five creators. Five echoes of synchronicity from the depths of their souls. Let us rise from the seats of spectatorship and, with the heart of art as our vessel, journey toward the distant shore—where beauty and the numinous await.
"I think I’ve always longed for a sound that doesn’t fade—a sound that lasts, that never weakens. You could say it’s the opposite of the piano, because it doesn’t disappear. It feels eternal, almost like a literary metaphor." — Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda
“True freedom begins when each individual is allowed their own posture—when everyone can exist, in their own dimension, within a systematized and flattened world.” Looking back on 2021, we reflect on freedom and constraint in the midst of a pandemic, and on how new rhythms of life were quietly built in the tension between the two. The editorial team at Shopping Design presents a selection of six documentary films—some offer distanced observation, others a visceral, immersive jolt. There is rebellion and resistance. There is tenderness and remembrance. Each film is a response to life itself. From the seemingly small, we observe what truly matters. Through ongoing dialogue, we move forward—exploring freedom through order, life, creation, and coexistence. Together, we trace the contours of a shared realm of freedom.
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.
