For this Sunday Kino Night, we’re starting with Perfect Days (2023), a slice-of-life from Wim Wenders (Paris Texas [1984], Wings of Desire [1987]) about a Japanese janitor who is passionate about music, books, and cleaning toilets. He meets some people, and more of his past is revealed. Just a warm, gentle, simple narrative. Wenders says he made the film as an homage to the works of Yasujiro Ozu, and yeah, that sounds about right. It was one of the most critically-acclaimed films of 2023, being currently ranked #181 on Letterboxd’s Top 250 films of all time. Looks good; let’s watch.
After that is Pride (2014), a British dramedy set during the miners’ strike of 1984, when a gay-rights group decides to raise some money to support the picketing workers; they struggle to achieve full solidarity with their comrades, who are at first reluctant to embrace them as allies, but eventually learn the errors of their ways. God Damn the UKKK: The Movie. This is by far the best-known and best-regarded film of director Matthew Warchus, who has otherwise only filmed stage plays. Excellent reviews for this one across the board, so we’re watching it.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
