Perfect Days
dir. Wim Wenders
JP, GE, 2023., 124’
Hirayamu seemingly enjoys the simple life working as a public toilet cleaner in Tokyo. He has a perfectly structured work routine and takes pleasure in 60s and 70s music, reading, and taking photographs. But a series of unexpected encounters gradually reveals details about his past. Wenders’ latest film, a deeply moving and poetic depiction of the beauty of the everyday world that surrounds us, received the Ecumenical Jury Award and Best Actor award in Cannes.
