REVIEW:

Fans of Manga movies will be used to adult themes presented in a traditionally youthful way, what with complex scientific events and both graphic violence and sex in equal measure, all this with a wonderful ethos for artistry and beauty that can both compel and astound audiences. Perfect Blue is one example that seems to go beyond and become a truly adult only production. It’s dark, unsettling portrayal of the trappings of fame and one woman’s tangle with reality is not for the feint hearted.

Perfect Blue is all about Mimi. She is the cutesy lead singer of a Japanese pop trio. She isn’t satisfied with the career she has though and, in a typical ‘wanting to be taken serious move’, announces, at the height of the bands fame, that she will quit the band in pursuit of an acting career. This shift doesn’t go how she may’ve planned it, landing roles which blur the line between art and exploitation. On top of this a stalker begins following her, which kicks off the paranoid feelings she has that build to a tremendous crescendo.

This deranged fan has created a fan-site which puts up her supposed thoughts, although Mima, who obsessively digests the sites output sees that they ARE actually her thoughts. Not only that, but this person claims Mima isn’t actually herself but an imposter and the real Mima wants her dead. This all sounds really confusing...and...well...it is, but that all adds to the feelings the film is trying to create. Paranoia, perplexity and impending doom all exist in complete disharmony and Mima herself beings to question her reality. Is she somehow putting up the content onto this site, is she simply being stalked by an obsessed fan, has she entered some alternate existence? Who knows, but the thrill of trying to figure all this out is what I guess gives it a Hitchcockian comparison.
