Hailed at the Cannes Film Festival as Wenders’s greatest masterpiece in recent years, Perfect Days follows Hirayama, who 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.
Combining a refreshingly unstereotypical depiction of the Japanese capital with a soundtrack comprised of iconic hits from the 60s and 80s, this is a subtle, shimmering and ultimately life-affirming reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world around us.
