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.

Rather than gold, frankincense, and myrrh, our three hosts come bearing different personal histories with the art form of anime. They discuss the benefits and challenges of this storytelling medium, and dive into the burning questions: were the actions that ostracized our protagonists really that bad? What do the serendipitous events of this movie mean?

We review Perfect Blue. This classic is one of Satoshi Kon's masterpieces, and it's about time we talk about it. No matter how weird, eerie, or freaky this movie gets, the most mind-blowing thing is how much the story was ahead of its time. We discuss the blurred lines between reality and fantasy, the themes of parasocial relationships and fandom, and the nostalgia of seeing 90s technology.

[Content Note: Parts of this episode do involve discussion on rape and sexual assault in the context of this film] This is a preview of a patreon bonus episode! Check out the full episode here! -------- Aaron (@afrocosmist) returns to the pod this week to talk about Satoshi Kon's debut anime film, 'Perfect Blue'. Released in 1997, Kon's film is an examination of a former J-Pop star trying to make it as an actor, and in the process finding herself in caught up in multiple identity crises spirals, as well as a string of murders. Considered one of the greatest anime films of the 90s, we talk about its exploration of early internet culture, its poignant observations of mass surveillance, and Kon's editing styles, splicing through the film's various timelines, give the viewer a profound sense of unease. We also talk about the film's impact on Western cinema, in particular, David Aaronofsky, who used Perfect Blue as inspiration for Requiem for a Dream three years later. -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

How to Survive is now on Patreon! Support us at Patreon.com/HowtoSurvivePod to get every episode one week early, plus monthly bonus episodes and more. It's episode 289…and you're tarnished and filthy. Perfect Blue (1997) follows the story of Mima, a Japanese pop idol who gives up singing at the advice of her management in order to pursue an acting career instead. What follows is a descent into paranoia and doubt as Mima begins to lose track of who she is, all as mysterious murders occur in her vicinity. Part one of Anime Horror/inspiration for legally distinct Hollywood movie season kicks off with a bang, as we discuss an artful treatise on the nature of identity, the often problematic sexualisation of young women in Japanese media, whether truck drivers should be more urgent with braking and well-trodden path of Disney actor to sexually explicit pop star. All of which leads to one question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: illusions can't come to life. Next time on the main feed, we're watching another Satoshi Kon staple with Paprika (2006), while it's Red Dot (2021) on the Patreon bonus feed.
Casey, Joey and Mateo reveal Mount Rushmores secrets.
Synopsis Perfect Blue follows the story of Mima, a pop star who turns her life around to become an aspiring actress. As she goes deeper into her role on a crime thriller tv show, she realizes that someone might be stalking her. The line between reality and acting becomes thinner and thinner as the anxiety of fame and her potential stalker rise. Review This movie is impeccable. Director Satoshi Kon forces the viewer to descend into Mima's madness by blurring the line between real and fantasy throughout the course of the film with quick cuts, disorienting scenes, and an overall sense of unknowingness. Making an anime horror film be this good, this widely received and revered is no easy feat, but Kon makes it look like a cake walk. This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and one of my favorite directors of all time. The sense of dread, doom, and anxiety get bigger and bigger until it all comes to a head at the end of the movie. It is emotional, thrilling, scary, and hard to follow, but that is what makes it perfect. Perfect blue. Get it. Haha Score 10/10
How to Survive is now on Patreon! Support us at Patreon.com/HowtoSurvivePod to get every episode one week early, plus monthly bonus episodes and more. It's episode 288…and we have travelled further into space than any humans before us. Aniara (2018) follows a titular ship of evacuees escaping a climate-ravaged Earth as they set out for a new life on Mars. When a collision with some space debris results in the ship losing all control, the Aniara begins to drift further out into deep space. As weeks turn into years, we see isolation, terror and nihilism overwhelm the passengers. Is there any salvation? We reach peak bleak, discuss sex cults and eating algae, break down a painfully resonant allegory for climate nihilism while making the case for radical optimism, and try against all the odds to find a survival method in an unsurvivable situation. All of which leads to one question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: Once the passengers get used to eating algae, we'll go public with the situation. Next time on the main feed, we're watching Perfect Blue (1997) as part of a season of Anime Horror films. Got a suggestion for great anime horror? Send it our way via our Patreon.
