Duke's After Dark: Perfect Blue
18 82 mins
In legendary Japanese director Satoshi Kon’s 1997 debut and arguable masterpiece, popstar Mima leaves behind her group CHAM to pursue a career in acting to the horror of her fanbase. But when the dream turns to the darkness of paranoia, stalkers, and murder - the unnerving uncertainty between the lines of reality and fantasy, and the dichotomy of her true personality and star persona is mirrored in the duality of the film’s beauty but deeply unsettling terror.
A true cult anime classic and a prescient premonition on the culture of social media and the digital age.
