The wonders of everyday life come into breath- taking focus in this profoundly moving film by Wim Wenders. In a radiant, Cannes-award-winning performance of few words but extraordinary expressiveness, Koji Yakusho plays a public-toilet cleaner in Tokyo whose rich inner world is gradually revealed through his small exchanges with those around him and with the city itself. Channeling his idol Yasujiro Ozu, Wenders crafts a serenely minimalist ode to the miracle that is the here and now. Please join a post-film discussion led by Hosea Hirata, Professor and Director of International Literary, Cultural and Visual Studies at Tufts University immediately following the screening.
