A Perfect way to close our Spring Season

SFS brings its Spring Season of films to a close with Perfect Days, the Toyko set film from German Auteur Wim Wenders
We bring our Spring season to a close with Perfect Days a wonderful film by the legendary German auteur Wim Wenders (Alice in the Cities, Paris/Texas, Wings of Desire to name a few).
Middle-aged Hirayama (a fantastic Kôji Yakusho) leads a modest existence, balancing his work as a Tokyo public toilet caretaker with his love of music, reading and photography. But when a young woman appears on his doorstep, it leads to revelations about Hirayama’s past and the simple life he cherishes is disrupted. Win Wender’s Japan-set latest is a charming, moving gem
It says a lot that the Japanese trusted a German to shoot a film about “service”, which has a totally different connotation in Japan compared to our culture. He had a great writing partner in Takuma Takasaki.

The soundtrack is exquisite and the acting sublime. Don’t miss it!
