The connection between Hirayama’s arguably Sisyphean routine and Wenders’ work as a filmmaker is unavoidable and rich. Then, it became Wenders’ most acclaimed and art house-friendly effort in years. The film started out as a Tokyo-funded short to celebrate the architecturally-significant Tokyo public park toilet system. Wenders, who has directed 88 films and whose credits include the 1977 Patricia Highsmith adaptation “The American Friend” and the 1987 favorite “Wings of Desire,” again with the great Bruno Ganz, co-wrote the screenplay of “Perfect Days” with Takuma Takasaki. Cinematographer Franz Lustig, a frequent Wenders collaborator, turns toilets into temples. His humble work is a form of spiritual expression. “Laborare est orare,” goes the Latin saying, a reference to the monastic practice of simultaneously working and praying and the connection between the two activities, a notion attributed to the Order of St. For many of us, these things are what sustain us and lift us out of our drab lives. “Perfect Days” is about the importance of beauty and art in the lives of even the most humble among us. Hirayama also owns a valuable collection of vintage audio tapes, including a collectible Patti Smith recording, which becomes an issue when Takashi needs cash. In another development, Hirayama discovers an incomplete game of tic-tac-toe in a privy. Keiko (Yumi Aso) does not know that her brother cleans toilets. Another thing involves Hirayama’s niece Niko (Arisa Nakano), who runs away from his estranged sister Keiko’s home. One is in regard to Hirayama’s young colleague Takashi (Tokio Emoto), a less disciplined Tokyo Toilet worker involved in a relationship with a young woman named Aya (Aoi Yamada), who works in a bar. Then, it all begins again, and, of course, complications set in. After his work, Hirayama goes to the public baths and ends his day with a drink at a commuter bar. Although his life appears to be lonely and monotonous, Hirayama revels in it. In his free time, Hirayama indulges passions for music and photography, He photographs the city’s trees. With his white towel scarf, the soft-spoken Hirayama is the samurai of the latrine, the Zen master of Tokyo sanitation. ![]() He waters his potted saplings, puts on the blue (almost purple) “The Tokyo Toilet” uniform and rides to his jobs in his tiny van, listening to a tape of The Animals singing “House of the Rising Sun.” We watch Hirayama, who takes great pride in what would appear to be demeaning work, go through the motions of his job – cleaning toilets, urinals, sinks, floors and other spaces inside the facilities – with an almost religious devotion, precision and vigor. In the film, which is in Japanese with subtitles, Yakusho plays Hirayama, a Tokyo sanitation worker, whose daily routine is cleaning the toilets of public bathrooms in the city.Īwakened from his sleep by the rustle of his neighbor’s broom, Hirayama rises from his narrow futon in his narrow duplex. ![]() A German-Japanese co-production, Wim Wenders’ Academy Award-nominated “Perfect Days” boasts an absolutely beatific performance from its lead actor Koji Yakusho (“Shall We Dance?”), winner of the best actor prize at Cannes.
