Perfect Days [DVD]

From acclaimed writer-director Wim Wenders, PERFECT DAYS transports viewers to Tokyo to explore the hidden joys of Japanese culture. This film, which earned Koji Yakusho the Best Actor award at Cannes 2023, offers a subtle, shimmering, and life-affirming reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world.

Koji Yakusho stars as Hirayama, a contemplative middle-aged man leading a life of modesty and serenity. His days are structured around his job as a dutiful caretaker of Tokyo’s public toilets, balanced with his passions for music, literature, and photography. As the narrative follows his routine, unexpected encounters begin to reveal a hidden past behind his otherwise content existence.
