Perfect Days
I chose Perfect Days as the first film of the year because I wanted to begin 2026 slowly. I didn't want something overwhelming or dramatic. I wanted something that would set a calm tone for the year. Rewatching this film felt intentional. Starting the year with familiar story gave a sense of balance. Perfect Days does not rush forward and it quietly reminds the viewer that there is value in staying present instead of always looking ahead. Beginning the year with this movie felt fitting. It shows everyday life in a calm and simple way, without big events or strong emotions. Because of that Perfect Days felt like the right choice to start the year with.
