Perfect Blue is one of the most outstanding anime films, masterfully combining psychological and horror elements.
Attention! The film is intended for adults aged 18 and over. Younger persons will not be admitted.
Originally planned as a feature film, it turned into a full-length animated feature in the development process. This film had a great influence not only on the world of anime, but also on Hollywood directors. Darren Aronofsky even purchased the copyright to reproduce certain scenes of it in his film Requiem for a Dream (2000). It is one of the first anime to explore themes of identity, abuse, and personal privacy, creating strong emotions and shocks for viewers around the world. This film boldly breaks the boundaries between reality and illusion, cementing its place not only in anime, but also in the history of cinema as one of the most daring and provocative works.
The film tells the story of pop singer Mima, who gave up her music career in favor of acting, much to the disappointment of her fans. When one of the fans starts stalking her, at the same time mysterious murders start happening around Mima. In this chaos, the main character questions her sense of reality, and the audience begins to hesitate - is Mima's stalker to blame, or is she perhaps being chased by a ghost from the past?
Satoshi Kon is one of the most respected anime creators in history - his works masterfully blend reality with fiction, often blurring the lines between them. His other famous works include the films "The Godfather of Tokyo", "Paprika" and the series "Paranoia Agent". Perfect Blue is Satoshi's directorial debut.
The film is in Japanese with Lithuanian subtitles.
Age limit: N-18. For adults over 18 years old.
