Perfect Blue
Sep 6 & 10 @ AMC Athens
Perfect Blue
Screening in celebration of its 20th anniversary, cult anime film Perfect Blue was the directorial debut of Satoshi Kon, who went on to create the dream-traveling mind-melter Paprika. Similarly blurring the line between reality and illusion, the psychological thriller follows the identity breakdown of idolized J-pop star Mima Kirigoe as she leaves behind music to pursue a career in acting, only to be derailed by a delusional stalker. Critical of fame, celebrity culture and the male-dominated movie industry, the film serves as a cautionary tale of fandom gone terribly wrong. Presented by Fathom Events, Thursday’s screening will be subtitled, whereas Monday’s will be dubbed in English.
