Upon first seeing the trailer for Wim Wenders' Perfect Days, can't say I was exactly excited to dash out and see it, but I definitely put it on my rainy/quiet day list of possibilities when in the mood for such 'low key' fare. And since I currently lead a pretty low key life these days, I was soon rewarded with this small gem of a film about a very unassuming and zen like public facility cleaner and sometime philosopher, photographer and music aficionado. Not surprisingly, life happens all around him as he quietly goes about his.
Of course, one can't help but be... 'inspired' by the style and ingenuity of some of the public lavatories he professionally frequents, and I was soon thinking what a great typography they would make- they would look great in B&W! And my second thought was, gee Stan, do you think no one else had that thought- particularly in the land of cameras. Well, that project does indeed exist! Perhaps in color...
