Today, in mind-blowing movies: Perfect Blue (1997).
Of all the anime films we watched in our pre-adolescence, whether rented from the video store, bought on VHS, or downloaded from the internet, undoubtedly the one that impacted a generation the most was Perfect Blue.
The masterpiece of Satoshi Kon, director of other great animated works such as Millennium Actress (2001), Tokyo Godfathers (2003), and Paprika, the dream detective (2006).
Mima is the lead singer of a famous Japanese musical group. Due to the failure of her albums' sales, her manager decides to remove her from the group and give her a role in a television series. Mima then falls into a deep depression that leads her to reconsider her life and career, but her crisis worsens when she discovers that her life is accessible to anyone on the internet and that someone is watching her. As the series begins to air on television, Mima realizes that fiction is being replayed in her real life: dreams and reality become blurred to the point of questioning her own identity.
A twisted psychological thriller that, at times, becomes terrifying and disturbing, and that influenced almost to the point of plagiarism, openly, the very Darren Aronofsky for his most successful film: Black Swan (2010).
