World Cinema: Perfect Days (Japanese)

Join us for a screening of Perfect Days, a heartfelt film that delves into the life of Hirayama, a Tokyo toilet cleaner, finding beauty and meaning in everyday moments. This poignant story, originally presented in Japanese, will be shown with English subtitles.

Lake Oswego resident and cinema buff Doug Thomas will introduce the film, sharing insights about the director, the actors, and the origins of the film's concept.

Stay after the screening to engage in a thought-provoking discussion about the film's themes: the search for happiness, the nuances of routine, and the quiet connections that shape our lives.
