Perfect Days is a masterclass in slow cinema
Wim Wenders

During Wim Wenders' discussions across cities, whenever the question was asked, “Who has seen his recent film Perfect Days?�?all hands would go up.
Indian cinephiles and filmmakers told him how they found his recent film Perfect Days to be a masterclass in slow cinema.
Cinephiles across cities told Wim Wenders how his film showed them a new way of looking at routine. "I started looking at leaves more," "I started keeping my phone aside, just to be," "I started taking more interest in local bookstores rather than using audiobooks only" - these were just some of the reactions he kept hearing everywhere he went about Perfect Days.
An audience in Delhi asked Wim, "Why does your protagonist speak just cursory words?" Wim responded, "Maybe I should not say more," leaving the audience in splits.
His masterclasses across cities were not just lessons in filmmaking but also in life.
In Delhi, someone from the audience pointed out that she didn’t like the ending of Paris, Texas. Wim responded, "You are in cahoots with my lead actor. He also said, ‘Why do I have to walk away? Couldn't we become a family and live happily ever after?�?I needed a long time to convince him that driving away was an act of love. I thought leaving them was an act of love, and I'm still convinced that was the right ending."
