Wim Wenders has two masterpieces, “Sky Over Berlin” (1987) and “Alice in the Cities” (1974), which must be seen for the analysis of the director.
"Ideal Days" in Cannes won the prize of the ecumenical (Christian) jury.
And the prize for the best actor Koji Yakuse.👍
Here in the background of the storyline there is a great interest of Wenders to the phenomenon of "komorebi" - in Japanese means "a unique shimmering play of light and shadows in the foliage of trees."
How I understood the movie. A movie about alphabetical truths, about small template joys-formulas. Such a stencil of Life is simple and at the same time complex in its spiritual beginning. There's a little Jarmusch roll call here. The tape is built so that there is nothing superfluous in the techniques, form and composition. Everything has its place and meaning.
As Bruce Lee said, “Time means a lot to me, because I am constantly learning and often dissolved in the joy of ever moving forward and simplifying my life.” If you love life, do not waste time, for time is what life is made of.
Very interesting film. There are few such people as the main character.
