On June 14, 2018, a documentary about the life and work of Sakamoto, entitled ''[[Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda]]'', was released.<ref>{{Citation|last=Schible|first=Stephen Nomura|title=Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda|date=June 14, 2018|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6578572/|others=Ryuichi Sakamoto|access-date=July 24, 2018}}</ref> The film follows Sakamoto as he recovers from cancer and resumes creating music, protests nuclear power plants following the [[Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster|Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster]], and creates field recordings in a variety of locales. He also elucidates the influence of Russian director [[Andrei Tarkovsky]] on the making of his then upcoming album [[Async (album)|async]]. Sakamoto says, "When I started making the album, the sound that was in my mind was the Bach theme from ''[[Solaris (1972 film)|Solaris]]'', arranged on synthesizers by [[Eduard Artemyev]]. I arranged the same piece in the beginning of the process for ''async'', and it sounded really good. It was very different from Artemyev's version, so I was very happy. Then I arranged four more Bach chorales next to that, and they all sounded really good. So I thought, maybe this is the album? Then I thought I needed to do something more, to write my own chorale. I tried, and that became the song "solari", obviously, with no "s".<ref name="hyperallergic">{{cite web |last=Hubert |first=Craig |title=Composer Ryuichi Sakamoto Reflects on His Life, Work, and Battle with Cancer |url=https://hyperallergic.com/451093/ryuichi-sakamoto-coda-interview/ |website=[[Hyperallergic]] |date=July 16, 2018 |access-date=12 August 2023}}</ref> Directed by Stephen Nomura Schible, the documentary was met with critical praise.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Kenigsberg |first1=Ben |date=July 5, 2018 |title=Review: 'Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda' Shows a Composer Attuned to Nature |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/05/movies/ryuichi-sakamoto-coda-review.html |access-date=July 24, 2018 |work=The New York Times}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ryuichi_sakamoto_coda/ |access-date=July 24, 2018}}</ref> 

He later said, "As I've been making music and trying to go deeper and deeper, I was finally able to understand what the Tarkovsky movies are about – how symphonic they are – it's almost music. Not just the sounds – it's a symphony of moving images and sounds. They are more complex than music." He calls Tarkovsky and French director [[Robert Bresson]] his favorites, claiming their books – ''[[Notes on the Cinematographer]]'' and ''[[Sculpting in Time]]'', respectively – as "[his] bible."<ref name="hyperallergic" />
