Perfect Days (German, EN subtitles)
Wim Wenders, 2024
Wim Wenders' «Perfect Days» is almost documentary-like. A feature film that resulted from an invitation to Tokyo. He was actually only supposed to visit one of the Japanese capital's prestigious buildings: 17 public toilets designed by the country's star architects. Wenders was actually supposed to make a documentary film about these places, but quickly abandoned the idea after an initial visit, wanting to elevate these toilet temples, as he describes them, into a fictional context and spin a story around the location. A story about the simple life of a man who is completely at peace with himself.
