neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched Perfect Days this week & just wow, what a beautiful, brilliant film. A true expression of life’s ever-present sweetness and sadness, most succinctly captured by the final scene. Kōji Yakusho broke my heart into thousands of reconstitutable pieces. Can’t recommend it enough. #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →Perfect Days: A deeply humanistic film that finds the beauty in mundanity, routine & manual labour whilst being spiritually nourished by books & photography. The last shot of the many emotions moving across Kôji Yakushi’s face is up there with that of Bob Hoskins in The Long Good Friday. On Mubi.

positive · AI labelView post →I did not think a movie about a quiet man who cleans public toilets in Tokyo would be one of my favorite films of 2023, but never underestimate Wim Wenders, a poet of cityscapes and a director with a curious and empathetic eye. Perfect Days is really special.
positive · AI labelView post →Baby has started sleeping some so I have resumed watching movies on my night shift. Last night was PERFECT DAYS -- such a beautiful, quietly wise movie. The Ozu influence really shows through, and not just because it's set in Japan.
positive · AI labelView post →Wim Wenders' new film, "Perfect Days," now on streaming, is sublime. It's a very, very quiet film in which "nothing" happens, but it's also one of the wisest and loveliest films ever made, akin to Kurosawa's "Ikiru." We're lucky.

positive · AI labelView post →I finally watched Wim Wenders movie Perfect Days and I loved it. I'm amazed that a European director could make such an authentic Japanese movie (note: the script is also from Takuma Takasaki). The movie is a 2 hours trip in Tokyo, philosophical, simple, beautiful, relatable and moving.
positive · AI labelView post →Yesterday, we had a fabulous Christmas walk on the beach, we watched Wim Wenders's film 'Perfect Days' and I read a Somerset Maugham short story by the fireside. Boxing Day: another walk, another film and some reading. As we say in France: 'Bonne continuation'.
neutral · AI labelView post →And my film of the year is Wim Wenders’ Perfect Days. Hirayama works as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. It’s an ode to a simple life, books, music, and is profound in its pleasure of the simple things. Perfect Days mubi.com/films/perfec...

neutral · AI labelView post →Friends, I saw another amazing Japanese film last night, older than "Perfect Days" but very much in the same genre. It's called "Departures" and its about a concert cellist who loses his job and learns about handling the dead. And to the 10 of you who are gasping, no, I hadn't heard of it. :)

He asked me to join but I’m enjoying the chance to be outside after a week of rough weather. I’m sitting out in the relative dark, drinking tea and watching raccoons navigate rooftops and wires.
neutral · AI labelView post →So, Bluesky Friends, saw a film called "Perfect Days" a few nights ago. I won't go so far as to say "You should watch this", it's not for everyone and some will be bored. I will say if you DO watch it and like it, we can be friends. :) Props to @drivebymuses.bsky.social for the rec.
neutral · AI labelView post →sincerely tho i did watch wim wenders' Paris, Texas and Perfect Days back-to-back last night thx to @dace09.bsky.social and @awall512.bsky.social and it's like... wow movies can be pretty nice
positive · AI labelView post →PERFECT DAYS is Wim Wenders' best-reviewed movie in over 30 years, and earned an Oscar nomination for Best International Feature. It's a beautiful, simple film, but ultimately the script is too scant and not interested enough in its main character. My review: klaw.me/3VJASRN
neutral · AI labelView post →A few weeks ago at Far East Film Festival in Italy, I had the pleasure of interviewing Japan's greatest living actor, Koji Yakusho, about everything from Cure and Shall We Dance to 13 Assassins and Perfect Days. Read the whole thing over at @mubinotebook! mubi.com/en/notebook/...
neutral · AI labelView post →The photo instantly reminded me of a lovely little film I saw a couple of years ago - Perfect Days. It's about a man in Tokyo whose job is cleaning public toilets (doesn't sound fab, does it? But it is) The toilet buildings are little architectural masterpieces & all are accessible. Lovely film!

positive · AI labelView post →I just saw Perfect Days and now I feel extremely energized, which is maybe weird since it's a very slow movie where very little happens
positive · AI labelView post →Perfect Days- I think this is my favorite movie of the year. To describe it might sound boring, it's just about a guy who cleans toilets & follows his daily routines, but I found it beautiful. He leads a simple, solitary life but he finds little things that make him happy. Absolutely loved this.
positive · AI labelView post →Random comment, but this just reminded me of the film Perfect Days, which is focused on a man who cleans public restrooms in Tokyo. (Beautiful film, highly recommended.) Yeah, it turns out that you can have nice public resources…if you employ people.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched two movies this week (if you didn’t already know, I am a huge movie girl), Portrait of a Lady on Fire and Perfect Days. Both were beautiful and, funnily enough, both ended with nearly identical last scenes of the characters’ faces as they react to a piece of music and all it evokes.
