German film maker Wim Wenders brings his introspective style to the big screen this year with new film Perfect Days, which follows ageing bathroom attendant Hirayama as he goes about his day in Tokyo taking in life's simpler pleasures.

Wenders' feature films include road movie Paris Texas, Cold War-era fantasy Wings of Desire, both released in the 1980s, and 2000 documentary Bueno Vista Social Club about a group of Cuban musicians.
One of cinema's true auteur filmmakers joins Susana to talk about Perfect Days, his life in Berlin and travels with his wife, and the directors he admires behind the camera.
