*Presented in Japanese with English subtitles.* In this iconic psychological thriller (frequently hailed as one of the most important animated films of all time), rising pop star Mima quits singing to pursue a career as an actress and model. But her fans aren’t ready to see her go. Encouraged by her handlers, Mima takes on a recurring role on a popular TV show – then all of a sudden, her handlers and collaborators start to turn up dead. With a stalker closing in and the fabric of Mima’s reality slowly starting to crumble, the film thrusts viewers into a nightmarish odyssey where the line between fantasy and reality grows ever thinner. A brilliant debut from a master filmmaker, PERFECT BLUE explores the price of fame and the dangerous obsessions that can arise from it.
