    • Trivia
      In an article in the New York Times on 2/4/2024 by the journalist Motoko Rich, the nine public-toilets featured in the movie were built to help welcome visitors to Japan as part of the planned Summer Olympics in 2020.

      As the pandemic delayed the Olympics, Koji Yannai, a senior executive for Fast Retailing (known for its Uniqlo brand) sought a way to still make the toilets known internationally, contacted several screenwriters and advertisers, leading to the idea of having a well-known film director to produce a documentary about these toilets.

      Given an invitation to produce the documentary, Wim Wenders decided to make a full-length movie instead.
    • Goofs
      Hirayama's assistant puts the cassette in his girlfriend's bag without the box but she returns it with the original cassette box.

      She probably took it as well.

      Hirayama girlfriend was holding the case last before she picks her phone from her bag. She no longer has the case as she puts it away not where she got it from. Maybe she stuffed in her jacket.

    Hirayama
    I saw it as a kind of poem about happiness in fair, simple terms , as refuge against high expectations and social pressure, as precise portrait of the relation with the others.

    I saw it, in same measure, as a sort of idealisation of life, moral lesson, fair portrait of lonely man and cold definition of truth..

    Not less, I saw it as portrait of me, sure, in basic terms, with large slices of desire to real be.

    But, out of this identification with Hirayama, Perfect Days has the gift to be a beautiful, admirable crafted, scene by scene, film. In essence, this is the real thing matters . Near the great music. A beautiful exploration by Wim Wenders of dreams of his audience , with some bovaric touch, about a life who was not him.
