About This Movie
The Perfect Blue (1998) takes you on a haunting journey through love, revenge, and existential despair. Set against a backdrop that shifts from Nanjing to Tokyo to Las Vegas, it paints this cold, atmospheric world. What’s striking about this film is its pacing—slow, yet deliberate; it pulls you in, making you feel the weight of the characters’ struggles. The practical effects, though minimal, have this raw edge that amplifies the emotional impact. Performances are gripping—every actor seems to embody the turmoil of their roles. It’s a deep dive into the human psyche, and the subtle layering of themes about identity and loss are what really make it stand out. Not your typical crime drama, that's for sure.
