1985年，導演森田芳光把夏目漱石的浪漫世界喚醒過來。松田優作演明治末期的「高等遊民」，他對抗進口價值觀，不工作不成家，卻敗在傳統俠義感的愚思，把所愛拱手相讓給好友。三年後，好友失意地帶著妻子回來，令他覺悟至愛是誰，惜這愛已難有出路。《其後》當年擊敗黑澤明的《亂》，獲選為「電影旬報」十大電影首位及最佳導演獎；但更重要是，《其後》無懼時代洗禮，仍然是不少影迷心目中永遠的第一位。

The Whiplash soundtrack consists of 24 tracks sequenced in 3 distinct parts: Original jazz songs written for the film, original underscore written for the film, and classic jazz standards by Stan Getz, Duke Ellington and more. There are also choice snippets of dialog included on the soundtrack that sum up the narrative of the film and help to put the music in context (à la Pulp Fiction). The Original Score & Big Band Songs were created by Justin Hurwitz. The original jazz songs were created by Grammy nominated composer, Tim Simonec.
