The difference between the two links posted by Ebbywebby and TreadwayNathan is much bigger than just frame speed. I came across both versions on the internet and about the whole first quarter of the movie differs. What happens in Ebby's rip at 18:00 is the beginning of Nathan's rip!
IMDb speaks of two alternate versions of 49 and 54 minutes length - might have something to do with censorship and/or restored sections.

The splendid cinematography is reason enough to watch Ridley Scott's debut film.

Something everyone wants to have seen at some point, although it's not great.
Funny how much this short resembles an annoying prank sketch of Youtube (the way the tramp looks straight into the panning shot), more than other 1910s contemporaries do in my eyes.

Not as bad as the negative hype makes it, completely disappointing unneeded superhero origin sleepfest nonetheless

Holy hell, that was ultra dark. The twisted and yet so amusing mind of a McDonagh at work, ladies and gentlemen.

What happened to Matthew Vaughn? This is kinda like Kingsman x Kick-Ass, only it sucks hard. The last half hour has a terrible scene after another and the movie just doesn't want to end.

btw, featuring Henry Cavill so prominently in the advertising - he's in the center of the poster, ffs - is almost criminal. What's his screentime, 5 minutes? Bryce Dallas Howard, on the other hand, is completely miscast as the lead. A shame wasting Bryan Cranston for this.

Starts out like dozens other crime noirs you have seen (with hard-boiled cops and crooks).
Suddenly becomes a film unlike any other noir you have seen.
Very enjoyable despite all the obvious flaws - Ray wanted some melodrama in this film very hard.

Unusual editing.
Would've made a very fitting episode for The Painted Bird (2019).

Almost the same line-up as from 4 Blocks, but nowhere the quality. Constantly illogical and all over the place. At least the 2 hours fly by fast.

Absolutely harrowing experience, speaking as someone who hasn't seen Alive (1993) and only knew the basic outlines of the story.
It's a bit long maybe, but I guess that's very fair for a movie depicting the arduous struggle to survive.

IMDb Trivia wrote:
Perfect Days was shot 60 years after Japanese director Yasujirô Ozu made his last film, An Autumn Afternoon (1962), in Tokyo. Wenders said, that it is "not a coincidence that our hero's name is Hirayama", which is the name of the main character in Ozu's last movie, too.


12000 Yen are about 85 dollars, in case you wondered.

Remember when the aughts showed the creative minds of Charlie Kaufman, Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry turning American semi-independent cinema on its head? I guess this film owes a lot to movies like Being John Malkovich and Adaptation (Nicolas Cage might remember a thing about it), only with the added A24-lense of dream team Kristoffer Borgli & Ari Aster. If any of these names mean something to you, you will LOVE Dream Scenario. As in Sick of Myself, you have a black comedy dialing up the awkward outcomes of social interactions under very odd circumstances to 10. That rapey fantasizing scene, oh my God!
I'll agree about the less striking third act, but how often do you get a movie like that? Savor it while you can!

Soothing, at times a bit aimless/less successful at that, but always worth your full sensory attention - the ebbing audio plays an important part
