Perfect Days (2023) directed by Wim Wenders. This is a perfect film, a slow and languid slice-of-life tone poem that follows the day-to-day routine of Hirayama, a cleaner with The Tokyo Toilet. There is variation in the sameness of each day, even as each day is anchored in quotidian touch points. The cinematography is beautiful, the sound design is exquisite, and the "dream installations" between days are intriguing. I could seriously step into Hirayama's life and be content.
"The world is made of many worlds. Some are connected and some are not." This is film as meditation and I'm here for it.
Streaming on Hulu.
