Few joys in the world are as pious as experiencing a late-period masterpiece from a beloved master of cinema, and with Perfect Days, Wim Wenders seems to have given us just that. The great German filmmaker is one of the most influential artists of the modern era and has made significant contributions to not just films, but also to photography, literature, and theater, and has shaped countless important narratives over his extensive career as a documentary filmmaker. As a prominent face of New German Cinema and a pioneer of it, Wender's cinema is lively and made with a humanist touch, and he is one of the rare visionaries whose work truly stands out on its own, while his influence on world cinema is certainly undeniable.
