If I can just update Monday’s entry, I just got back from my second viewing of Perfect Days, this time with John. We actually managed to rendezvous at Peckhamplex today, and I certainly think it was worth it. Wim Wenders must surely be one of the most interesting filmmakers around: as I said last time, this is a lovely, slow, meditative film. It’s about taking life easy, and not getting too stressed. If doing a job cleaning public loos in Tokyo and collecting cassettes is what makes you happy, then surely that is all you need. I think that could be a great lesson for us all right now.

Mind you, if you ask me, exactly the same can be said about spending quiet afternoons watching such intriguing films with friends as outstanding as John.
