Excellent!

Its almost hard to believe this is an Anime movie, but in the best possible way.

Comparable to Brian de Palma and David Lynch at their best.

Yes, this is the most western style anime i've ever seen.

It follows the story of Mima - Pop Idol and lead singer of 'Cham' an all girl trio.

After 2 years and no chart success, one of Mima's agents pursuades her to give up singing and become an actress.

What ensues is the devastating effect Mima's decision causes.

A decision that leads to several brutal murders.

He career change also drives a wedge between her agent's, one of whom see's Mima purely as a singer.

What ensues is a 'wheels within wheels' story that closely follows Mima's new career against a backdrop of the murders taking place. All the vicitms are in some way tied in to Mima's controversial acting debut in a violent TV thriller called 'Double Bind'

At times your not sure whether your watching reality, a dream, or the series that Mima is working on.

It even suggests that Mima herself may well have developed a dangerous split personality, as she is dogged by visions of her fomer 'Pop idol' self.

Few thrillers manage to be as consistanly entertaining and intriguing as Perfect Blue.

The film's title refers to the 'Perfect Blue' sky above Tokyo and is based on a novel of the same name.
