    Perfect Days

    ★★★★★

    This movie gorgeously promotes the richness of intentionality while simultaneously providing captivating spaces that grant the viewer similar conditions of mindfulness. Wenders does this all without compromising reality, embracing the notion that routine contentment doesn’t free anyone from sadness, frustration, or loss, but it does still promise that routine contentment and a lasting healthy harmony from which life’s subtleties can be savored. Also, the tunes are cool in this movie.

  • The Wind Rises

    The Wind Rises

    ★★★★½

    This is a movie that celebrates airplanes as machines imbued with fantasy dreams by engineers who have traded magic wands for drafting pencils, but it also identifies the conflict of passion and a personal sense of meaning when faced against the malice and malevolence of a reality that depends on the same aspiration. It asks you not to walk away from Omelas to give up pleasures and treasures but to give up your sense of self.
