We inaugurate the late Japanese master Shinji Sōmai with a discussion of his beautiful, melancholy coming-of-age drama Moving. The film follows the young Ren as she navigates her parents' recent separation, balancing loyalties to both her mother and father, dealing with gossiping classmates, and making attempts to reconcile the marriage. With a characteristic sensitivity and perceptiveness for the experience of youth, Sōmai excavates a universe of detail from the film's simple premise, arriving at a profoundly moving and cathartic emotional climax. We begin by discussing Sōmai as director, his style, and what we think might have drawn him to stories about the occasionally painful experiences of youth. Then, we explore how the film elicits nuance within the childhood experience of familial separation, acknowledging both the grief intrinsic to such experiences and the role children play as emotional anchors for their parents. Finally, we examine Sōmai's considerations about modern Japanese life and how he rallies against conservative social positions on divorce through the film's delicate character work. The Roxie kicks off The Dream Will Never End, a career retrospective of the films of Satoshi Kon THIS FRIDAY, beginning with the new 4K restoration of PERFECT BLUE on Friday 10/3 introduced by Hit Factory Podcast!

Get access to this entire episode as well as all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.CW: Discussions of cinematic sexual assault and violence.Film Critic Lex Briscuso joins us to discuss Satoshi Kon's masterful animated psychological thriller Perfect Blue. The film follows Mima, a former J-Pop idol who has recently left the music group Cham! that made her famous and beloved in order to pursue a career as an actress. As Mima struggles to adapt to the demands of her new profession, she becomes the victim of an obsessive stalker and steadily begins to lose her grip on reality. Visceral, confounding, and richly layered with considerations about celebrity, artifice, and the toll of creating a public persona, Perfect Blue represents the very best animated cinema has to offer and showcases what the medium is capable of in the hands of a brilliant artist.We begin by unpacking the film's contemplations of public image and the fledgling internet; how Kon anticipates the production of digital avatars and how these versions of ourselves skew people's perceptions of our interiority. Then, we discuss Perfect Blue's perspective on patriarchal, predatory systems within entertainment and art, as well as how the film conveys the top-down proprietary relationships that we build around celebrity. Finally, we examine the film's core tragedy - the loss of agency and sense of self that necessary follows any participation within a larger system of public visibility and the subsequent collapse of solidarity these losses breed.Follow Lex Briscuso on Twitter.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

Perfect Blue, Satoshi Kon's 1997 directorial debut, stands as one of the most influential and psychologically complex anime films ever created, still inspiring filmmakers today with its disturbing yet masterful narrative about identity and fame. The film's ability to blur the lines between reality and delusion creates a viewing experience that continues to haunt viewers days after watching, making it a timeless psychological thriller despite being over 25 years old.• Released in 1997, Perfect Blue was Satoshi Kon's directorial debut and first feature film• The film's animation holds up remarkably well despite limitations with current digital copies• Narrative intentionally blurs lines between reality and delusion, creating a disorienting viewing experience• Explores timely themes about toxic fandom, stalking, and the dark side of the entertainment industry• Heavily influenced filmmakers like Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream)• Runtime of only 81 minutes, but feels longer due to its intense, layered storytelling• Rewards multiple viewings as the complex narrative reveals more layers on rewatchLetterbox'd Synopsis: Encouraged by her managers, rising pop star Mima takes on a recurring role on a popular TV show, when suddenly her handlers and collaborators begin turning up murdered.

Silencio! We finally get lost in David Lynch's walking daydream Mulholland Dr. (2001) starring Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, and Justin Theroux. Lynch, as usual, declined to explain the meaning of the film and we here at Black Girl Film Club can little more than offer our musing and interpretations including: the Hollywood machine, the sinister nature of LA, shaping your identity, Ellen Degeneres wigs, and the Blue Box Theory. We miss you, David and thank you for everything. Our recommendations: Persona (1966), 3 Women (1977), Black Swan (2010), Perfect Blue (1997)

HORROR WITH SIR. STURDY EP 551~ `PERFECT BLUE (1997) & THE INTENSITY OF ANIMATED HORROR   What's good, Horror Fam!? Tonight on Horror With Sir. Sturdy, we're diving deep into the animated psychological horror cult classic—Perfect Blue (1997).   This film is pure intensity—disturbing visuals, identity breakdowns, blurred reality, and the kind of suspense that crawls under your skin.   This ain't your typical anime. It's twisted, brilliant, and leaves your mind spinning.   Joining me tonight are some real ones:

Perfect Blue Ani-May continues on and this time we are looking back nearly 30 years to the classic psychological thriller that introduced the western world to the intricacies of Japanese Idol culture and unhealthy parasocial fandom in that sub-culture, all through the singular vision of the acclaimed director Satoshi Kon. Based loosely on the novel Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis by writer Yoshikazu Takeuchi, this film explores the trauma of sexual assault, the fear and uncertainty of dealing with stalkers, and the existential dread that comes from gaslighting and potential mental collapse from an unravelling reality. It is a far cry from the usual anime of the same time period and it remains as topical and relevant today as it was in 1997. Dion made the call for us to watch this, as he wanted a classic piece of Anime, what none of us were really prepared for was the uncompromising film that we watched. Jill was far more up to speed on the content and style while Quinny thought he'd seen it and then realised he probably hadn't. All of them had a lot to process from this episode. Please note the film does include some disturbing and graphic imagery of sexual assault, and our podcast does discuss the content. As such a heavy trigger warning if advised. Synopsis A pop singer gives up her career to become an actress, but she slowly goes insane when she starts being stalked by an obsessed fan and what seems to be a ghost of her past. https://youtu.be/BZ2cXEF3ar0 A huge shout-out to the beautiful flower children and hardened warriors who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT.

We bring you a Discord Suggestion and Patreon Poll Winner, which I was very glad to see.  A Anime movie I have always been curious about but just never found the time, and never made the effort.  Sometimes once needs a kick in the butt to enjoy a film that's always been on your list.  Perfect Blue is a horror film, that doesn't make sense till you watch it twice.   Come Hear what this newbie and a few veterans thought of this film. Starring Mike Albertin, Kenneth Sanity, Joe Butler, and Joseph Larrey.
