I've decided on what's going to be shown this coming Tuesday on #RosesPoolsideDriveIn. The first animated feature of the club, and a movie in my top 5 of all time: Perfect Blue, directed by Satoshi Kon and released in 1997. It follows Mima, a young performer whose decision to change the direction of her career brings her into an increasingly unsettling situation, where the boundaries between performance, identity, memory, and reality begin to become rather inconveniently indistinct. It is a psychological horror film, although that description feels somewhat inadequate. Perfect Blue is less interested in frightening you with conventional monsters than in making you question whether you can trust what you are seeing—and, eventually, whether the person doing the seeing is quite as stable as you had assumed. I would strongly recommend knowing as little about the plot as possible before watching it. This is a film where uncertainty is part of the experience, and explaining too much beforehand would rather defeat the purpose. So, as always, pay attention to the details. Pay attention to what changes. Pay attention to what repeats. And perhaps most importantly, consider how much of yourself you have invested in the person you believe yourself to be. Pleasant viewing. Content warnings are quirked.
