    Perfect Days

    ★★★★

    A charming, quiet and mindful picture. I read the film as a compassionate and humanistic perspective on the aging process that successfully managed to not fall into cloying sentimentality. But what else would you expect from Wenders. 

    Despite a dearth of dialogue Kōji Yakusho’s performance is stunning and heartbreaking.

    Fallen Leaves

    ★★★★

    A refreshing take on the romantic comedy. Kaurismäki’s typical Finnish dry humor meets a socialist fairy-tale whose taut three part sequence follows two downtrodden workers whose romance is repeatedly foiled by fate. features great tunes, lots of vodka and a very cute dog.
