This week on End Credits, we search for perfection. It's hard to find, difficult to describe, and different for everyone, but if there's one thing that many critics can agree on, it's that the new film Perfect Days is pretty close to perfection. We will let you know if we agree with that assessment, but also under the topic of perfection, we will revisit another blast from our 80s past.
This Wednesday, March 6, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss:
This is Spinal Tap... at 40! Forty years ago this month, a small movie was released and while it didn't hit so hard at the time, it ended up having a huge impact in the long-term. Rob Reiner's first film, This is Spinal Tap, introduced the concept of the mockumentary, a documentary-style movie about a subject matter that's made up, in this case the British hair band Spinal Tap. This week, we will talk about the lingering effect of The Tap and take our nostalgia all the way up to 11.
REVIEW: Perfect Days (2024). What initially began as a tourism project to promote Tokyo's splendid new public toilets became a movie worthy of nomination for the Best International Feature Oscar! The legendary German director Wim Wenders takes us into the life of Hirayama, who spends his days keeping those toilets clean and enjoying a quiet life filled visits to his favourite haunts, taking pictures of trees in the park and his favourite American music on cassette tapes. In short, all of Hirayama's days are perfect days, but what happens when fate intervenes?
