<p class="ydp1f3e320aMsoNormal">Thanks for this, Quentin.</p>
<p class="ydp1f3e320aMsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none"><i>Moriyama-san</i> is an interesting watch and Moriyama-san himself has
a beautiful home and lifestyle.</p>
<p class="ydp1f3e320aMsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none">The visual similarities are striking and I can’t see how Wenders, cinematographer
Lustig or indeed Yakusho could have created the likenesses without carefully
looking at this film, even though Wenders’ Hirayama lives in a far more
proletarian locality and residence. (In contrast, Moriyama clearly has
inherited wealth and apparently no need to work at all.)</p>
<p class="ydp1f3e320aMsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;layout-grid-mode:char;mso-layout-grid-align:none"><i>Perfect Days</i> did get a cinema screening here at Nippon Connection
but no screener link is available. However, it turns out that <i>Perfect Days</i>
is on VoD here through Amazon.de, even though not yet in the UK.
There is a brief page in the end credits for ‘special thanks’ but it does not
include <i>Moriyama-san</i>, B<span>ê</span>ka,
or Lemoine. I saw no acknowledgement.</p>
