Perfect Blue
10th March 2005
I haven't seen a lot of anime, so I thought I'd rent a few, and this one came first. I can't make much of a comparison with other titles, but on its own merits, Perfect Blue is a great film. The story centres around a pop star turned actress who seems to be slowly losing her mind. Craftily, the director pulls the viewer into the girl's mental condition by keeping us on our toes, always unsure whether what we're watching is the girl acting out a scene in a movie or living her real life. The animation also looks great. Perfect Blue is based on a novel, no less!
