Film: Perfect Days

In a spectacular grand finale, the man plays a game of shadow tag with a stranger he briefly connects with. Then drives around listening to music. 

Man drives around listening to music, a verifiable genre - Drive, Baby Driver, and Perfect Days

But in seriousness, I took the film to be about a celebration of the physical world and a total rejection of the virtual. The key line "Can I find this on Spotify?" And he responds, "Where's that place?" Exactly. 

Consider this - the film romanticizes the most unpleasant of all physical tasks - cleaning toilets. The man delights in playing the dumbest game in the world, tic-tac-toe. But these small things all exist in our physical world. There can be no pleasure in playing tic-tac-toe online. That is the point.
