Synopsis
“Seeing life through Hirayama’s eyes you are reminded of how important it is to look around you and see the beauty in the everyday.” Dominic Hayes, Mancunion
Hirayama, played by Koji Yakusho, a middle-aged toilet cleaner in Tokyo, enjoys a rich interior life through reading, photography and classic rock cassette tapes. Wim Wenders’ film artfully mixes the simple enjoyment of the world with the tribulations of human engagement.
“It’s magnificent works like this that keep me so in love with cinema. Film, in and of itself, helps me cherish life.” Andreas Babiolakis, Films Fatale
