Perfect Days
Academy Awards
Nominee – Best International Feature Film
“★★★★! The fact that writer-director Wim Wenders has called a movie about cleaning toilets “Perfect Days” might strike some viewers as the height of absurdity, even perverse humor. But once they get a glimpse of Hirayama in action, the dreams (literal and figurative) behind the drudgery reveal themselves in a series of revelatory moments.
” – Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post
Hirayama is content with his life as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. Outside of his structured routine he cherishes music on cassette tapes, books, and taking photos of trees. Through unexpected encounters, he reflects on finding beauty in the world.
Directed by the brilliant Wim Wenders (WINGS OF DESIRE, PARIS, TEXAS) and starring Koji Yakusho (BABEL), who won the Best Actor Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023 for this performance, PERFECT DAYS is also nominated for Best International Feature Film at the Academy Awards 2024.
