There’s not a lot of anime that gets me to want to really see it on the big screen but my envy is front and center with this. Anime Limited has a limited event coming up at select Cinemaworld theaters on October 27th and 28th in the UK and Ireland for Perfect Blue, the film that really introduced Satoshi Kon to many anime fans. But that’s not the only showing as Showcase, VUE, ODEON, Picturehouse and independent cinemas will be screening it on Halloween night, October 31st. They’ve also brought out a new trailer to promote it that you can see below. The film is being shown in its original Japanese language with English subtitles only.
The title was previously released by Manga Entertainment in the UK and in North America but it’s been out of print for a few years and no Blu-ray release has been offered outside of Asia until Anime Limited brought it out in the UK back in 2013.
Plot Concept: In the world of make-believe… The price of fame… May not be worth the cost of identity…
Pop singer Mima Kirigoe looks forward to a bright new career when she quits her chart-topping trio to become an actress. When she lands a role in a sexually-charged murder mystery, Mima’s life begins to fall apart. Reality and hallucinations merge into a terrifying world where innocence is lost and dreams become nightmare.
Quickly descending into a dangerous state of paranoid delusions, Mima watches as Internet sites appear describing every intimate detail of her life. She is helpless and afraid as her associates are threatened and killed by a mysterious stalker.
