Perfect Days 2024 Movie Review Trailer

 Wim Wenders and writer-director Takuma Takasaki collaborate on a quirky, bittersweet, Zen character study set in Tokyo. The film finds its resonance in the final zoomed-in shot of the protagonist's face, oscillating between happiness and sadness, capturing a moment of deep introspection. 

Cinematographer Franz Lustig contributes stunning magic hour scenes, filmed within the square frame of “Academy,” adding visual depth to the narrative.

Director: Wim Wenders
Writers: Wim Wenders, Takuma Takasaki
Stars: Koji Yakusho, Tokio Emoto, Arisa Nakano

Koji Yakusho, known for his role in Shohei Imamura's “The Eel,” plays Hirayama, a middle-aged man who works as a toilet cleaner. Driving serenely from job to job in his pickup truck, he immerses himself in classic rock and pop tunes on old-school audio cassettes, including songs by Patti Smith, the Kinks, and Lou Reed, as the film's title implies. Despite the mundane nature of his job, Hirayama approaches each task with complete efficiency, maintaining a peaceful demeanor at all times.


Curiously, Hirayama's character remains enigmatic. His spartan apartment, filled with books, music cassettes and boxes of his photographs, suggests a complex inner life. The arrival of his brilliant niece and an encounter with his sister shed light on his past and his personal struggles, hinting at his departure from social expectations and perhaps past traumas.

“Perfect Days” exudes an ambient urban charm, anchored in Yakusho’s understated wisdom and presence. Wenders delicately unravels Hirayama's story, avoiding clear resolutions and allowing the narrative to develop organically. While the film's subdued tone may not appeal to all viewers, its nuanced portrait of Tokyo offers a refreshing departure from clichés. Despite its imperfections, “Perfect Days” remains an interesting exploration of introspection and acceptance.

Queen Cleopatra 2023 Tv Series Review Trailer Cast Crew

Last summer, I was living in Venice Beach and had decided, due to a friend's persistence, to visit a fortune teller. I, always skeptical but wanting to laugh, agreed to go. What the fortune teller said made me roll my eyes: "I'm not saying you're Cleopatra, but you somehow share her story and are connected." Less than a month later, I got a call from a production company making Jada Pinkett Smith's "African Queens" and was subsequently hired to direct four episodes of a dramatic documentary about the controversial leader's life. The joke was on me. Stars: Adele James, Craig Russell, Nada El Belkasmi I remember as a kid watching Elizabeth Taylor play Cleopatra. I was captivated by her, but even then, I felt like the picture wasn't right. Was her skin really that white of hers? With this new production, could she find the answers about Cleopatra's heritage and free her from the yoke Hollywood had placed on her image? Born in Iran, I am a Pe
