Perfect Blue

Synopsis

Mima was a pop idol, worshipped by the masses until fashion dictated otherwise. In order to salvage her career, she is advised to drop music and pursue acting. A soap opera role is offered, but Mima’s character is less clean-cut than desired. Regardless, she agrees and events take a turn for the worse. Mima begins to feel reality slip around her, that her life is not her own. She discovers (or imagines, really) a mirror image of herself that appear describing every intimate detail of her life and a figure stalks her from the shadows. Her friends and associates are threatened (and killed) as Mima descends into a dangerous world of paranoid delusion. She fears for her life and must unravel fact from illusion in order to stay alive.
