Hirayama seems utterly content with his simple life as a cleaner of toilets in Tokyo. Outside of his very structured everyday routine he enjoys his passion for music and for books. And he loves trees and takes photos of them. A series of unexpected encounters gradually reveal more of his past. This is a deeply moving and poetic reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world around us.
Mark Kermode says "It's almost like mindfulness, as a movie."
Donald Clarke of Irish Times says in his 5-star review "Jonathan Livingstone Lavatory Cleaner. Zen and the Art of Lavatory Maintenance. But better than that. Sharper, less sentimental, less aphoristic. A film to live your life by."
Guy Lodge in Variety says "Wim Wendersโ gentle Japanese character study is his best narrative film in decades ... This beguiling film may trade in the tranquil security of routine, but makes an occasional, heart-quickening case for the unexpected."
