Film synopsis
Mima Kirigoe, once the lead singer of a pop idol group, leaves music to pursue acting. Her new career path unsettles fans and her management as she accepts darker roles, including a controversial assault scene, and agrees to a revealing photo book.
As her public image shifts, Mima becomes the target of a stalker. A series of murders follow, and she begins to question her own sanity. Visions of “the other Mima,” the idol persona she left behind, blur the line between reality and delusion. Perfect Blue, directed by Satoshi Kon, is recognized as a defining work of psychological anime and a major influence on global cinema.
