I watched a new Wim Wenders film. The title is Perfect Days. The film is set in Tokyo. The actors are also Japanese. They speak Japanese.
The main character in the film is Hirayama-san. He is a man, aged between 50 and 60. There are many different towns in Tokyo, but Hirayama-san lives in downtown. Hirayama-san's daily life is simple.
His job is to clean toilets. Public toilets. They are located near parks and train stations.
The toilets in the film are in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo. They are new and are stylish toilets. The toilets were built by famous architects, so they are public art. The film won an award at the Cannes Film Festival, but before I saw the film I didn't have high expectations. I thought it was a bit fake, all the toilet cleaning and the quiet life. But when I watched it, it was a very good film. I'm glad I watched it in the cinema. My favourite scene is when the lady sings the Animals song at the small bar that Hirayama-san goes to on his day off.
