Wim Wenders is a genius! He takes the audience on a very simple yet brilliant journey of the subject's mundane life. Koji's acting is so captivating! His eyes speak beautifully. His smile when he wakes up first thing in the morning and gazes at the morning sky, his smile when he waters his plants, his smile when he reads his books at night, his smile when he listens to his music on cassette tapes, they're all different from each other in their own unique ways.
Often slow-paced movies lack humour. But this movie displays humour so subtly. The movie has great music score. Even the cinematography is pretty cool. It portrays both the urban buzz of Tokyo city and the natural scenic view through trees, birds, sky and his dreams!!
Soo worth the watch!
