Reviews
the perfect film and the best one i personally have seen from the calm quiet moments to the little dialogue the pure feeling of watching this film alone makes it worth checking out. To me this is my all time favorite film, and that does not come easy, the cinematography is perfect the music choice on point and a story that grips you without needing to say much through dialogue. its beautiful
At first I didn't think I was going to like this movie. This movie starts slowly but gets better and more eventful as it progresses. It's not a movie that you'd want to watch with friends; you need to watch it alone. The movie offers a glimpse into the life of a toilet cleaner living in Tokyo.

Helped, occasionally but not too reliably
Coproduction between Japan and Germany, directed by the german director Wim Wenders (Texas Paris, Wings of Desire among others) and written by him and Takuma Takashi. It won the Cannes Film Festival 2023 for Best Actor and Ecumenical Jury and it is nominated for Academy Best Foreign Movie (my favorite for this category). It tells some days at the life of a public bathroom cleaner at Tokyo,
