Review of Perfect Blue

Perfect Blue (1997)
10/10
Perfect, blue or not

I have to admit, it took me too long to watch this in the first place. I was aware of the infamous nature of the movie, but never exactly to what degree. I did think this was more in the corner of Hentai (won't go into what that is, I'll leave that up to you), which was wrong thinking.

This is horror (and I guess part drama) and quite the exploration of fame and what it does to some. What it is able to do to ones psyche. And very visually displayed. The lines are quite blurred between reality and fantasy. But the social commentary is not just vivid, but also very clear to see for everyone! I may have been missing on this for over 2 decades, but I found it and I do appreciate it very much
