About this product

Product Information

A surprisingly thoughtful analysis of the Japanese pop icon phenomenon. Mima is an ex-pop idol who was worshipped by the masses before fashion dictated otherwise. In order to salvage her career, she decides to drop music and pursue acting. A soap opera role is offered but Mima's character is less clean cut than desired. Regardless, she agrees and events take a turn for the worse. She begins to feel reality slip. She discovers (imagines?) her identical twin, a mirror image that hasn't given up singing. Internet sites appear describing every intimate detail of her life and a figure stalks her from the shadows. Her friends and associates are threatened, and killed, as Mima descends into a dangerous world of paranoid delusion. She fears for her life and must unravel fact from illusion in order to stay alive.

Light scratching on the disc, but so light it really doesn’t change much. Came in fantastic shape and was as expected.

Great movie☆
This is the directorial debut of Satoshi Kon. A dramatic Thriller, it follows the former pop idol turned actress mima kirigoe. Though not his best effort, this movie still shines as a great starting point to satoshi kon. I'm excited to see it be reprinted soon on blu-ray. Shout out to the seller for wrapping my movie up real good and using a great package.

Go into this movie blind
This movie is a trip and a half , only read up on it to see if it's you'd like it but it definitely makes the experience that much better if you don't know anything but the base plot going into it ,worth every penny

I’ve always wanted to see Perfect Blue! ...
I’ve always wanted to see Perfect Blue! I’m a huge fan of old school animes, especially horror! I can’t wait to watch this and the DVD is so clean, I can see myself on the reflection!

Lesser Black Swan
Black Swan is so much better and I don’t know why everyone says it’s copying this one. This movie wasn’t pleasant to watch at all.
