" The Ups: Like a Japanese Dario Argento movie. Here is blood, nudity and some good memorable sequences. The Downs: It is a better thriller than most live films in the genre and the fact that it is animated has made it lose a lot of viewers that deserved to experience one of the better Manga movies out there.

"10.2.2013 Difference between dream and reality shatter in Satoshi Kon's movie, where a female pop-star decides to change into an acting career and lands in small roles, like as a rape victim, for example. Through a stalker and because of some demons from the past, she brings her own fears into her roles. This goes straight-to-action, if you may, because most of the movie is mainly about the main character going through her problems through vast amounts of surrealism and visions, and not really"

"An animation done by madhouse, the same studio responsible for movies like Paprika and Piano no Mori. They also made a lot of great series such as Death Note and Claymore, just to name a few because the list goes on and on. First off, wow, this movie has a very mature setting and is quite depressing. It's about a reasonable popular idol called Mima (there are a lot of them in Japan, you should probably look it up) but leaves her group in order to follow an acting career. Meanwhile, she has this"

" dir. Satoshi Kon Besides becoming enamored with Japanese anime, I have also fallen in love with the director Satoshi Kon. His four feature-lengths are all so very intriguing and imaginative. Sadly, his death at a young age means that there won't be any future works by this brilliant talent. His small body of work, however, is extraordinary in its own respects, Perfect Blue being my personal favorite."

“I love the mindfuck in this movie, thrillers like this always give me this wonderful creepy and uncomfortable feeling. I was really tired when I watched this, but the thrill kept me awake.

I wouldn't say that the story is something I've never seen before in movies, but the message made up for the overused topics - such as stalking. To be fair, the movie is from 1997 and I don't really know if stalking was as overused back then as it is now. And the story also had a twist, an unexpected and surprising one.

What I really loved about this movie was the more or less happy ending - at least for the main character.

There is no tragic end that left me confused, sad or even angry that it turned out like this. I liked this ending so much, because Mima was in some kind” read more
