From May 12-15, Quad Cinema in Manhattan will show films including Pedro Almodovar's High Heels (1991), Nagisa Oshima's Gohatto (1999), and Sakamoto's 1983 screen and soundtrack debut with David Bowie, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.
The Japanese composer has described Async as “a soundtrack for an Andrei Tarkovsky film that does not exist," which makes this film series a must-see for fans who want to trace his cinematic journey.
