The blurred line between what is real, and what is not. A theme explored in movies such as: Repulsion, Belle de Jour, Triangle and Black Swan. A film aspect that's never been a favorite of mine. However, I found the outlier. Perfect Blue hooked me from the opening, and I was on the edge of my seat until the final credits rolled. 

Perfect Blue is batshit crazy in an eat your heart out Darren Aronofsky type of way. It's the movie Black Swan only wished it could be. It's simply a badass flick with a lot of social commentary on the media, fame and internet usage for dummies circa 1997. At least in my mind it is.

Part Giallo. (Fun…

After having seen most of Kon's filmography now, I can only conclude he was one of the most gifted storytellers to ever work in film.

Perfect Blue is yet another intriguing and powerful exploration of the human psyche, this time in the guise of a complex thriller. Kon weaves a tale around a superbly written female protagonist that not only serves as a vessel for some social commentary about Japanese teen pop culture but also as our eyes and ears into a young girl's faltering mind as pressure, expectations and self doubt take over her world.

The layered and complex narrative bobs and weaves through reality and fantasy…

"I'm the real thing."

Baru mood review sekarang.

Intinya mah udah nonton aja.

4,5 stars karena
1. Satoshi Kon seolah ngeprank aku dengan sengaja nunjukin seolah scenenya akan berjalan sesuai yang aku tebak, tapi malah kebalikannya. Aku suka gimana aku ketipu dan cuma bisa ketawa.
2. Blurred plotline, bagaikan benang kusut, jalinan dimensi yang bertabrakan, dan tidak adanya batas-batas realita dan imaji. Aku masih bisa menyusun kepingan puzzle dari film-film plot mbulet kayak punya Pak Nolan, Pak Charlie Kaufmann, atau ala-ala Pulp Fiction gitu lah (mendadak refrensi film plot mbuletku ilang). BUT, film ini...
3. Aku sudah bisa menyusun puzzlenya tapi aku nggak yakin, cuz masih banyak asumsi dan kurangnya bukti sehingga aku belum bisa narik kesimpulan.
4. Film kedua…
