“Satoshi Kon.. A true original whose films probed at the edges of reality and delineated with frightening accuracy the impact of a technological society on the human psyche. Without his work, Neo might never have taken the red pill, and the post-Matrix rash of Hollywood films dealing with subjective reality – Fight Club, Inception, Requiem for a Dream – might never have tumbled down the rabbit-hole and on to our screens.” – Dazed and Confused
Perfect Blue returns in this special Halloween re-release. One of the most stellar examples of Japanese Anime, Perfect Blue is a dark take on the price of fame that spirals into the surreal. Mima, a young pop idol is in the prime of her career. Ready to seize her moment in the spotlight, she decides to cross over into acting, but her role is not as clean cut as she originally imagined. When a diary detailing every aspect of her life appears online, Mima begins losing her grip on reality, trapped in a web of paranoia and confusion.
