Perfect Days
Dir: Wim Wenders
Japan 2023 | 125 minutes | Cert PG
Japanese with English subtitles
Hirayama lives a life of blissful contentment, spending his days balancing his job as a caretaker of Tokyo’s public toilets with his passion for music, literature, and photography. His structured routine is slowly interrupted by unexpected encounters that force him to reconnect with his past.
Mubi wrote “Kôji Yakusho won Best Actor in Cannes for this heart-warming, Oscar®-nominated drama from Wim Wenders, who lends his humanist gaze to the inhabitants of his beloved Tokyo.
“Charged with a superb soundtrack of classic rock and pop, Perfect Days finds beauty and serenity in the most unexpected places”
“an achingly lovely and unexpectedly life-affirming picture”
Wendy Ide, The Observer
