Details

Join us Saturday, November 30, 1p to 2:15p at CC's Coffee on Esplanade Ave. (between North Broad and City Park). We might be outside; we might be in their community room -- to the right, before the bathrooms, as you walk in. Come and leave anytime.
We'll discuss the 2023 film "PERFECT DAYS" Drama. 2h 4m. In Japanese with subtitles.
An absorbing slice-of-life drama led by a remarkable Kôji Yakusho performance, "Perfect Days" adds a quietly soaring gem to director/co-writer Wim Wenders' estimable filmography. (Rottentomatoes.com)
ABOUT: Hirayama cleans public toilets in Tokyo, lives his life in simplicity and daily tranquility. Some encounters also lead him to reflect on himself.
