Perfect Days

PERFECT DAYS is a drama in Japanese, directed by acclaimed German director Wim Wenders. The movie is about a middle-aged man named Hirayama and his steady, mundane life. It follows him through the same schedule every day. For example, he listens to his cassette tapes while driving to work, cleans public toilets, takes pictures of trees, washes up, goes out for dinner, and then reads his book. Sometimes things happen. For example, a young co-worker steals one of his tapes, his niece runs away from home, or his dear friend hugs her ex-husband. He always shows respect, however.
