Perfect Blue
Perfect Blue streams on Crunchyroll and Max, and it's Satoshi Kon's incendiary debut: a psychological thriller about a pop idol whose grip on reality unravels when she quits music for acting. Decades on, it's still one of the most influential and disturbing films anime has ever produced.
About
Mima leaves her manufactured pop-idol career to pursue serious acting, a choice that enrages a devoted fan and shatters the safe image she's built. As she takes on darker roles, the line between performance and life begins to blur: a stalker's website seems to narrate her every private thought, and Mima can no longer tell which version of herself is real. Kon turns celebrity, identity, and the male gaze into a hall of mirrors that closes in with nightmarish precision.
