Koji Yakusho speaks of Cannes triumph delight

Koji Yakusho, who won the award for best actor at the 76th Cannes Film Festival for his role in the film "Perfect Days," spoke to reporters of his delight in Tokyo on Tuesday.

"It was like a dream working on the film. I'm really happy," Yakusho, 67, said during a press conference at the Japan National Press Club in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, where he was joined by Min Tanaka, 78, his costar in the film.

Yakusho plays a quiet cleaner of public bathrooms in the film directed by Wim Wenders, 77, from Germany.
