10. Perfect Blue (Kon, 1998)
10. Perfect Blue (Kon, 1998)
Pop singer Mima decides to swap her successful singing career to become an actress. She lands a role in a sexually charged murder mystery, but this does not sit well with some of her fans who don't like the pop princess's squeaky clean image tainted by her portrayal of a rape victim. This is especially true of her stalker who takes a particular dislike to the new role. Mima soon becomes paranoid, and reality and hallucinations become blurred. Combined with the deaths of the some of the people responsible for her new role we have the makings of a perfectly constructed murder mystery. A brilliantly constructed thriller, Yoshikazu Takeuchi's novel is brought to life by Satoshi Kon's directing and special advisor Katsuhiro Otomo's visually stunning portrayal of one woman's descent into a nightmarish dream world which grips the viewer from the outset.
