One of the best anime of all time is now in theaters! The legendary psychological thriller by Satoshi Kon from the Madhouse studio from 1997 in a restored version at the Intimes cinema.
From pop starlet to celebrated actress - this is how young Mima envisions her career after leaving the girl group CHAM! But first the budding actress has to prove all her skills on the film set. After just a few sentences at a time, Mima is asked to perform a rape scene - and to reinforce her image change, she has a nude shoot with a famous photographer. Not all of her fans are thrilled and she even receives threatening letters. On the Internet, the young woman comes across her "diary", which reports on her everyday life and reveals details that only she can know. Forced into a role that is foreign to her, stalked and after the brutal murder of her screenwriter, Mima increasingly loses her grip on reality. More and more often she sees illusions of another Mima - and the murders around her continue.
What is really true? Satoshi Kons' work mixes cyberspace, fiction and reality, dreams and illusions like an artistic trompe l'œil painting - a psychological thriller that remains inscrutable to the end. Perfect Blue is the directorial debut of Satoshi Kon, who later delighted audiences and critics worldwide with films such as Paprika, Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers. Celebrated as one of the first animated films with an authentic psychological suspense story, the film was highly acclaimed at international film festivals and was released in Japan in 1998.
