Wim Wenders Reveals Why He Titled His Film Perfect Days

Wim Wenders, renowned German filmmaker, recently revealed the inspiration behind the title of his latest film Perfect Days, shedding light on the deeper layers of his protagonist’s seemingly simple yet fulfilling existence.

When asked why he titled the film Perfect Days, Wenders shared, "I think because he does live perfect days. His days may all be the same, but I don't think he can imagine more perfect days. He loves his music, and he doesn't need Spotify for it. He has his audio sets - he prefers them. He has his books. He doesn’t have a whole rack of new books; he's happy to read one book, and when he finishes it, he puts it in a shop and buys another one. And he only buys used books because in a used book, it's still the same story."
In this way, Wenders’ title encapsulates the idea that perfection doesn't lie in novelty, but in the deeply personal connection we form with the things we cherish. For the protagonist, each day may look the same, but within that repetitive rhythm lies a perfect, peaceful existence.
