Perfect Days

A gently astonishing film... Yakusho's performance is a marvel of openness” – Time magazine “Perfect Days is a poem of extraordinary subtlety and beauty.” - Vox

Winner of the Best Actor Award at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and Best Film at the Japanese 2023 Academy Awards.

Who knew Japan has the most elegant public restrooms in the world? Wim Wender’s Perfect Days is a poetic reflection on finding the simple beauty that surrounds us in our everyday world. Koji Yakusho delivers an award-winning performance as Hirayama, a Tokyo toilet cleaner, exuding contentment with his seemingly simple life. Behind the facade of his structured daily routine lies a fervent passion for music, an insatiable appetite for books, and an unusual fondness for photographing trees. Unforeseen encounters unveil his hidden past.
