Perfect Days is a good, relaxing experience. It teaches you a lot about life, but more than that it showed me that public toilets in Tokyo, Japan are the shiz. I mean, I'm comparing them with those back home in Mumbai, India, and it's just amazing to see such shiny, well-maintained, and usable public bathrooms. Once you stop admiring the toilets, you'll start admiring the obsessive interest in which our lead guy cleans them, day in and day out. And through that he shows how his perfect life is. Throughout the movie I would wait for him to start playing his cassette and anticipate what rock track he would play between his tasks and he didn't disappoint once. "Respect sports teams and others' religions" is another line that will stay with me. Perfect Days will stay with me because it's different, it's therapeutic, it's wholesome. Watch it.
