Oh, what a lovely film! Perfect Days<\/em> feels like a meditation on screen: slow, poetic, and deeply moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was mesmerized by its serene pacing, stunning imagery of Japan, and the soft, calming color grading. K\u014dji Yakusho\u2019s<\/a> performance is nothing short of masterful, earning him Best Actor at Cannes 2023. Its Oscar nomination for Best International Feature is well deserved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shot loosely over a 16-day period, this film has a fascinating backstory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all started with a project<\/a> to redesign Tokyo\u2019s public toilets into architectural masterpieces for the 2020 Olympics – until the pandemic derailed those plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These elegant spaces, designed by 16 internationally awarded architects and designers, were meant to impress visitors from around the world but never got their moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, Wim Wenders stepped in. Inspired by their beauty, he envisioned a quiet, introspective film. What began as a promotional idea turned into a deeply human story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some films leave you with a sense of hope – this is one of them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
