To most cinephiles, the name Yoshihiro Hanno is still often associated with film music. Apart from composing the score for his own movies, such as “Ugly” and “A Woman Wavering in the Rain” Hanno has created the music for Jia Zhangke’s “Mountains May Depart” and Isao Yukisada’s “Five Minutes to Tomorrow”, to name just a few examples.
