Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an article in the New York Times on 2/4/2024 by the journalist Motoko Rich, the nine public-toilets featured in the movie were built to help welcome visitors to Japan as part of the planned Summer Olympics in 2020.
As the pandemic delayed the Olympics, Koji Yannai, a senior executive for Fast Retailing (known for its Uniqlo brand) sought a way to still make the toilets known internationally, contacted several screenwriters and advertisers, leading to the idea of having a well-known film director to produce a documentary about these toilets.
Given an invitation to produce the documentary, Wim Wenders decided to make a full-length movie instead.
- GoofsHirayama's assistant puts the cassette in his girlfriend's bag without the box but she returns it with the original cassette box.
She probably took it as well.
Hirayama girlfriend was holding the case last before she picks her phone from her bag. She no longer has the case as she puts it away not where she got it from. Maybe she stuffed in her jacket.
Featured review
this movie will hit you in a few days
It's a movie about mundane life, in different ways. While watching this movie you might think, where is this story going? Is something happening? Will his routine fall apart? Is he meeting someone? Maybe, maybe not...
The story will make you conscious about simple things in your daily life. Those activities can be happy, a little sad or unexpected. It's all about your own perception.
Overall, this movie was relaxing to experience and eye-opening in an interesting way. When I walked out of the cinema and looked around it made me feel very privileged about life. Every person experiences satisfactions in their own way. If you are a homeless, disabled, a CEO, a toiler-cleaner, happiness finds its way.
