Aus Privatsph\u00e4re wird \u00dcberwachung. Regisseur Neo Sora, Sohn des renommierten Filmkomponisten Ryuichi Sakamoto, hat in seinem bisherigen Werk die Klavierkl\u00e4nge seines Vaters in visuelle Entsprechungen \u00fcbersetzt. Sakamoto verstarb 2023. <strong>Happyend<\/strong> markiert Soras Emanzipation als Filmemacher \u2013 und doch lebt seine Liebe zur Musik weiter, sp\u00fcrbar sowohl in den Underground-Techno-Szenen als auch in der ruhigen Klavieruntermalung.
