SUMMARY:FILM: Perfect Days (PG)
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nIMDB: 7.9 \n★★★★ “A beautiful portrait of everyday life in Tokyo. This Oscar-nominated drama from Wim Wenders about a toilet cleaner’s daily life is a lovingly detailed character study. ” The Telegraph \nHirayama feels content with his life as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. Outside of his structured routine\, he cherishes music on cassette tapes\, reads books and takes photos. Through unexpected encounters\, he reflects on finding beauty in the world. \n★★★★  “Wim Wenders’s zen Japanese drama is his best feature film in years. The German director makes a strong case for simple living with this achingly lovely tale starring Kōji Yakusho as a Tokyo public toilet cleaner who finds quiet joy in the world around him.” The Guardian \n\n★★★★ “Wim Wenders finds joy in Tokyo toilet attendant tale. The veteran filmmaker brings moments of real beauty to the gentle routine of one man’s life.” The FT
