''Perfect Days'' is a German-Japanese film directed by Creator/WimWenders in 2023. It is a drama written by Wenders and Takuma Takasaki, and stars Koji Yakusho.
Hirayama is an old man who cleans public toilets in Tokyo. He is single and lives a simple and healthy life. The film slowly reveals things about him through his [[SliceOfLife daily life]] and interactions with a few people.
----
!!This film provides examples of:
* InUniverseSoundtrack: Whenever he drives his car, Hirayama plays music on his car's tape player. He has a large collection of tapes, and mostly listens to English language music from the 1970s, plus a few Japanese songs.
* LiteraryAllusionTitle: This film is named after the song ''Perfect Day'' by Music/LouReed. This song is played once while Hirayama is driving his car, and during the ending.
* RunningGag: Young people can't figure how to insert a tape in Hirayama's car tape player. Hirayama doesn't let them try, possibly because he is afraid they might damage something.
* SliceOfLife: Nothing much happens besides the daily life of Hirayama. He cleans up public toilets, drives his car while listening to music, rides his bicycle, takes pictures, and has a few interactions with other people.
