Perfect Days
2023 Japan 124 minutes PG
Doors open 6.30 pm for 7pm screening
A beautiful tale woven by master German filmmaker Wim Wenders and acclaimed Japanese actor Koji Yakusho.
A work of fiction with the feel of a documentary.
A film that only Wenders, who has perfected the art of both,
could have brought to the screen.
Hailed at the Cannes Film Festival as
Wenders’ greatest masterpiece in recent years,
it is set for distribution in more than 80 countries worldwide.
What if you could live like this?
Hirayama (Koji Yakusho) works as a public toilet cleaner
in Shibuya, Tokyo. His is a calm, quiet existence.
Every day, he wakes up at the same time,
gets ready the same way, and works the same way.
Though his life may seem monotonous,
no two days are ever the same,
and he steps into each new day with a serene optimism.
Hirayama’s way of life exudes a gentle beauty.
He loves trees and gazing at komorebi,
the shimmering of light and shadows
that is created by leaves swaying in the wind.
But unexpected events create ripples in his life that
reach back into his past.
