Thursday Matinee: PERFECT DAYS

Come see Wim Wenders' PERFECT DAYS on the big screen in our program room!

Hirayama (Kōji Yakusho) is content with his life as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. He has a daily routine starting with work and ending with books and music, with some lunchtime amateur photography of the same trees every day. But when his estranged sister's daughter Niko (Arisa Nakano) comes by and stays for a few days, the disruption of that routine reminds Hirayama of a past he wants to leave behind and why he has this routine in the first place.

PERFECT DAYS was nominated for Best International Feature Film at this year's Oscars, and for the Palme d'Or at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Star Kōji Yakusho also won the Best Actor Prize at Cannes, as well as at the Asian Film Awards, and the Japan Academy Film Prizes.

The film is rated PG, and runs 2 hours & 5 minutes. It will be screened in Japanese with English subtitles. This screening is free and open to the public, with no registration required. Free popcorn will be served (while supplies last). Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.
