Perfect Days

This movie won't be for everyone. Some will find it slow. Don't watch it when you're tired after a long day. But this is the most moving film I've seen in 30 years. Wenders intended a story about how we live, and this is his masterpiece. I've been a Wenders fan since "Paris, Texas" and "Wings of Desire," but he's (unsurprisingly) a much more self-confident storyteller now than he was then. Koji Yakusho's performance is transcendent. I've glad it was recognized with the Best Actor honor at Cannes. And there are so many beautiful performances in supporting roles.

每天看半小时，一个礼拜才看完。这种平淡的日子，只要做好自己的工作，不需要跟人交流，哪个I人看了不想做呢？中间也穿插了小小的波动，比如咨询厕所使用的外国人，摆手说再见的小朋友，意外来访的侄女等等，让普通的生活也并非一成不变。

Harishama is an older gentleman that lives a simple life working as a public toilet cleaner. He enjoys taking pictures, reading and listening to music on cassette tapes. This movie was recommended to me by a good friend but I actually found it boring. The cool part of it was to see part of the Japanese culture. Otherwise I’d skip it 🍿/5 on Hulu

Slow, cute and captivating. A raw look at the human experience.

Beautiful movie, one of the best movie I've seen in years. Romantic, fantastic photography, is slow, but the nice way for a movie to be slow, to enjoy every second.

This is a most splendid gem of a film, greater than life and yet an exact measure of a meaningful life. So many thoughts and feelings arrise from the simple yet structured and observant routine of Hirayama san, I cannot stop thinking about this movie. Thank you, Wim Wenders, I think I will never watch this movie more than once, as life must be a succession of unique moments as taught by this magnificent story… and becaus I do not risk breaking the first impression.

Authentic to its core. A beautiful look on content living in all its simplicity for this person. A nice and peaceful breath of fresh air of story to observe with a lot of moments of intellectual quiet. A tiny gem of a film, this one is.

Too slow but worth a watch. Rating: 6.9/10

Beautiful! It is one of my favourites.

The main character has minimal dialogue, the film does not follow a traditional three-act structure, and there is no major conflict. It is a contemplative work where everything that might seem like a flaw is actually the essence of its beauty. Only Wim Wenders can achieve these things with such perfection. Pure art.
