Original motion picture soundtrack from the award-winning documentary. 29 tracks inspired by philosopher Jacques Derrida & his writings. See why the LA Times says "Derrida benefits greatly from the ethereal, other-worldly score commissioned from Ryuichi Sakamoto."

During World War II, British soldier Jack Celliers (David Bowie) is captured by Japanese forces and held in a prison camp. The officers become intrigued with Celliers' open defiance in the face of their old-world ideas about cowardice and shame. Composer Ryuichi Sakamoto is one of the world's best musicians. He creates music with a unique style that combines classical, symphonic composition, Japanese traditional sounds and experimental electronic music. The soundtrack also contains a vocal performance by David Sylvian, best remembered as leader of the popular U.K. rock band Japan.
