Perfect Blue
(Japanese: パーフェクトブルー,
Hepburn: Pāfekuto Burū) is a 1997
Japanese animated psychological thriller film[4][5] directed by
Satoshi Kon. It is based on the novel Perfect Blue: Complete
Metamorphosis (パーフェクトブルー:完全変態,
Pāfekuto Burū: Kanzen Hentai) by
Yoshikazu Takeuchi, with a screenplay written by Sadayuki Murai.
Featuring the voices of Junko Iwao, Rica Matsumoto, Shiho Niiyama,
Masaaki Okura, Shinpachi Tsuji and Emiko Furukawa, the plot follows a
member of a Japanese idol group who retires from music to pursue an
acting career. As she becomes a victim of stalking, gruesome murders
begin to occur, and she starts to lose her grip on reality.
The film deals with the blurring of the line
between fantasy and reality, a commonly found theme in Kon's later
works, such as Paprika.
