The Latest Film by Acclaimed Director Wim Wenders
"A poetic, beautifully balanced character study." —Little White Lies
"In Wim Wenders’ quietly profound Perfect Days, all of life’s beauty is found in the eyes of a man looking up at the first gasps of a Tokyo morning as he sets out on his day." —Seattle Times
“Perfect Days is a movie about art, exploring how in the midst of chaos, it’s not labor but the physical objects of beauty that we weave into our lives — paperback novels, cassette tapes of favorite albums, carefully tended bonsai plants, a perfectly framed photograph — that structure and give our days meaning… A poem of extraordinary subtlety and beauty.” —Vox
Hirayama seems utterly content with his simple life as a cleaner of toilets in Tokyo. Outside of his very structured everyday routine he enjoys his passion for music and for books. And he loves trees and takes photos of them. A series of unexpected encounters gradually reveal more of his past. A deeply moving and poetic reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world around us.
