ILE has never had a thread about Wim Wenders

So has anyone seen Perfect Days? I am mildly intrigued

I've had the screener sitting at home. He's never been a priority for me. I do wanna watch the doc, though: I watched the Kaurismäki instead last Saturday.

I haven't seen it, but everyone I've talked to says Perfect Days is pretty good, if not on par with his best work. (At least for my tastes, I don't think he's made a great narrative film since the '80s, but his documentary work since then has typically been stronger.)

I enjoyed Anselm, it was good to see relatively non-conventional documentary. I wasn't familiar with Anselm Kiefer at all beforehand, but I'd like to visit the Eschaton Foundation now of course. The scale of things there looked immense.

Loved Perfect Days, more than the couple other Wenders I've seen (though should rewatch Paris, Texas).

You know the trope of the solitary hitman/samauri whose life is all routine and precision? This is like that, except the guy cleans public toilets instead of guns.
