Bob Marley: One Love: Hallowed Be His Name…

Perfect Days: Oh! the good days
“Perfect Days was selected in the Oscar race for Best International Film at the recent Cannes Film Festival and was filmed in Tokyo. It marks the return to Japan of this globetrotting filmmaker, who made the 1985 documentary Tokyo-Ga. With few dialogues and great wisdom in the choice of images and settings, Wenders creates a minimalist and moving fictional work. », writes our journalist Luc Boulanger.

Despite everything, Sony Pictures hired five people – including the director – to adapt her story into a boring feature film,” writes our journalist Pascal Leblanc.
