Kôji Yakusho (CURE), veteran of the Japanese silver screen, gives the performance of a lifetime as Hiroyama, a man content to exist on the margins as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. Outside of his orderly routine, he relishes in the simple pleasures of listening to music on cassette tapes, reading, and taking photos of trees. Through an unexpected series of encounters, his past is revealed. A brilliant meditation on the beauty of the ordinary, PERFECT DAYS is a stirring return to form from master filmmaker Wim Wenders (WINGS OF DESIRE and PARIS, TEXAS). Nominated for Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards.
Presented in conjunction with screenings of WINGS OF DESIRE and PARIS, TEXAS, screening February 9–14.
