Mima Kirigoe is at a crossroads. As a lead member of the idol group "CHAM!", she has enjoyed a modest level of fame, but her heart is set on becoming a serious actress. However, the transition from pop idol to dramatic lead is far from smooth. As she takes on increasingly provocative roles, she is haunted by the presence of a "True Mima"—a spectral version of her idol persona that seems to stalk her every move. When members of the production start meeting gruesome ends and an obsessive fan begins documenting her life online with terrifying accuracy, Mima’s reality begins to fracture. What is real, and what is merely a performance in a world that refuses to let her grow up?

Perfect Blue is the legendary feature debut of director Satoshi Kon, a psychological thriller that remains as relevant and bone-chilling today as it was upon its release. Eschewing the traditional tropes of the genre, Kon delivers a visceral exploration of identity, voyeurism, and the toxic nature of celebrity culture. Remastered for high-definition, this GKIDS release showcases the film’s hauntingly beautiful and disorienting visual style, which famously blurred the lines between dreams and nightmares. It is a masterpiece of suspense that influenced a generation of filmmakers and stands as one of the most significant works in adult-oriented animation.
