On September 10, Jam Factory Art Center will host a screening of Perfect Days — the latest work by Wim Wenders, nominated for an Academy Award and honored at the Cannes Film Festival.
TicketsAbout the film
Hirayama lives in Tokyo and works as a public toilet cleaner. His life follows simple, repetitive rituals: he listens to music on his way to work, reads in his free time, and admires the trees during lunch breaks. Within this simplicity, he finds harmony and joy.
When a young relative unexpectedly visits, his familiar routine is disrupted, opening new dimensions of sensitivity and connection.
The director
Wim Wenders is a renowned master of independent cinema, best known for his iconic films Wings of Desire and Paris, Texas.
The idea for Perfect Days was inspired by Japan’s unique culture of public restrooms: 17 architects designed them as artistic objects, and this became the starting point for Wenders’ new film.
