Perfect Days

If you’ve ever cleaned a toilet, this is the film for you! Wim Wenders’s masterclass of show-don’t tell is an absorbing slice-of-life following Hirayama (Koji Yakusho) on his daily routine as a cleaner of Tokyo’s architecturally impressive public toilets.

The winner of Best Actor at Cannes in 2023, we are treated to the rich interior life of this solitary being, finding contentment in the smallest of daily rituals, with tracks from the 60s and 70s accompanying him on his such perfect days – I’m glad I spend it with you…
