I’m not sure my mind has ever been toyed with this much in a movie. I was so invested and entertained that I watched it again an hour after the credits rolled. Very original, extremely well directed and edited, and exceptionally told. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but everything was unsettling and creepy and strange that I couldn’t turn away. I loved every second of it and I’m already excited for when I watch it again.

Psychological thriller that mingles between fiction and reality. Probably on top-list among Aronofsky and Lynch.

Terrific! Perfect Blue asks the question that we desperately need to answer to ourselves: What happens when we lose control of our avatars when they become an entity of themselves, and they start shaping who we are? ~ People perceiving us in ways that we don't choose and that perception becoming reality. If you take away someone's identify then what's left?

Fandom, celebrity, identity, and losing one's youth is just the tip of the iceberg of topics covered in Satoshi Kon's haunting depiction of Japanese pop-culture. The film develops into physiological horror as the main character losing her sense of reality, which gives way to some quite shocking stuff. Really impressive.

An early exploration of the identity- shaping and challenging effect of digital tertiary retention, smartly doubled by the illustration of an idol as living in a perpetual tension between her synchronized fantasy image and her diachronization (here depicted by the increasing exposure of her sluttishness), and of cultural industry as relying on both hypnotizing effects of synchronization and shocking effects of diachronization. Challenging graphic, though a sense of melodrama with the end.
