Ok, it’s about a Tokyo toilet cleaner. And he barely speaks. But bear with me. It’s a film that is luminous with beauty from a director nearing the end of his life (Wim Wenders is in his eighties.) And it says so much about what is important in life, and what isn’t … Relinquishing complication, I think, is the key. Plus the quietness of simplicity. And the ability to cleave to a simple life - if you possibly can. And having the courage to be singular; to not care what others think of you (the ultimate freedom.) Lessons, lessons, all the life lessons. I still think about the gift of this film, months after I was immersed in it. I left the cinema … cleansed.
I often find it hard to find something on the Criterion Channel that is….maybe just a little bit…uplifting? This film is maybe the only piece of media that my mother and I both agree upon as superlative. Also probably a great holiday watch? When you’re not exactly in the mood for It’s A Wonderful Life but something in the neighborhood sounds good? This is not a niche movie by any means, but if you haven’t seen it, quite nice!
i remember seeing this couple a while ago on Feeld looking for a third. Bio was: Her: 5’6" late 30s, bisexual, sexy mommy vibes, fantastic sexual energy if you can tap into it
Him: 6’1" mid 40s, straight, not heinous looking, has a weiner, utilitarian. I’m sure they’re both great :)
like 75% sure it was him. working at a ski shop and a man named john called and sounded EXACTLY like him asking about a product we had sold out of. wouldn't give his last name or phone number in case the product restocked.
