Our take

Four decades before Perfect Days_, Wim Wenders journeyed to his beloved Tokyo to fashion this heartfelt ode to Yasujirō Ozu. Featuring interviews with the Japanese master’s actors—and a rare glimpse of Chris Marker!—_Tokyo-Ga is at once a poignant travelogue and a love letter to a cinematic idol.
