#170. Perfect Blue
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b2/PerfectBlue.jpg
Dir: Satoshi Kon
Genre: Animated, Thriller/Suspense
Year: 1997

I only watched Perfect Blue for the first time pretty recently, and it's crazy to see how influential it probably was on so many of my favorite movies from the late 90s/early 00s. This isn't your typical anime (well maybe it is for some of you freaks)--it's instead a visceral depiction of a descent into madness.

Perfect Blue has been what I was looking for in an anime ever since I fell in love with the Oren Ishii flashback in Kill Bill. It uses the medium to do what live-action movies simply can't--blurring the lines between dreams and reality, delusion and life. Not for the faint of heart.
