For many, it’s an important realisation that some things in life are not low hanging fruit, easily achieved. That fleeting moment of enjoyment or beauty – what the Japanese call komorebi – is what maverick German director Wim Wenders spends his career trying to capture, in his portraits of both fictional characters like Travis Henderson in ‘Paris, Texas’ and real-life figures like the artist Anselm Dieter. Here he distils the concept into a film about an ordinary man in Tokyo, going about his daily life. Oscar Nominee (2024); Best International Feature Film (Japan). Cert PG. Running time 125 mins.
