Perfect Days (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

Description

A perfect song that hits at just the right moment, the play of sunlight through leaves, a fleeting moment of human connection in a vast metropolis: the wonders of everyday life come into breathtaking focus in this profoundly moving film by Wim Wenders. In a radiant, Cannes-award-winning performance of few words but extraordinary expressiveness, Koji Yakusho plays a public-toilet cleaner in Tokyo whose rich inner world is gradually revealed through his small exchanges with those around him and with the city itself. Channeling his idol Yasujiro Ozu, Wenders crafts a serenely minimalist ode to the miracle that is the here and now.DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES4K digital master, approved by director Wim Wenders, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackNew interview with WendersInterview with actor Koji YakushoInterview with producer Koji Yanai, founder of the Tokyo Toilet projectsome body comes into the light (2023), a short by Wenders, featuring a new introduction by the directorTrailerPLUS: An essay by film critic Bilge Ebiri
