Perfect Blue
Aroview: Coherent and mature product of Japanese 'anime' is an unsettling psycho-drama about a burnt-out teen pop idol, simultaneously plagued by an internet stalker and a strange identity crisis after taking a part in a controversial TV crime show.
Exposes a seamier side of Japanese media and pop culture while delivering a hyper-real woman-in-peril thriller that could have just as easily made a superior live-action film.
