I am not in the cult of famous film directors but Perfect Days movie by Wim Wenders is the epitome of how I see life, minimalism, and the world, and my love for Japan and feelings from my Japan visits / by Mirena Rhee

Movie Perfect Days, the main character’s bedroom

Perfect Days is a Profound manifesto for Simple Living and Minimalism.

I have never before seen anyone either in movies or books express exactly how I feel about life and the world, and what I think the perfect aesthetics of living looks like. This is the absolutely perfect movie that I have ever seen in that it aligns absolutely with my personal philosophy.

Although this film is about a toilet cleaner main hero, nothing in the film is about toilets, the way nothing in Japanese rock and sand gardens is about rocks, sand or gardening.
