Viewing Notes
Perfect Blue follows singer turned actress Mima Kirigoe, who transforms herself into a sexually charged character on a controversial TV series. Her fans revolt—some even threaten her life. When those involved in her new career are murdered, Mima is driven to paranoia. Will she be next? This is one of those animated films that instantly proves that animation isn’t just for kids. It’s a charged psychological thriller that has the audience wondering throughout if the lead character isn’t simply losing her mind or if there’s actually someone after her. The animation is still fantastic, the pacing is perfect, and the blurred lines between her reality and her paranoia she’s displaying work perfectly to create a charged atmosphere that keeps building throughout the film.
