“u0026#39;Perfect Blueu0026#39; is the most interesting animated movie Iu0026#39;ve ever seen. Lovers of cinematic puzzlers from u0026#39;Vertigou0026#39; to u0026#39;Abre los ojosu0026#39; or the movies of Dario Argento or David Lynch will probably enjoy this one more than your typical anime fan, who might find this too slow, and not flashy enough for their tastes. I donu0026#39;t think u0026#39;Perfect Blueu0026#39; quite reaches the heights of the aforementioned, but it is still a fascinating, multi-layered thriller that improves with repeated viewings. As a look at the illusions of fame and the dark side of obsession I personally found it to be a much more satisfying movie than the more celebrated and flamboyant u0026#39;Mulholland Dr.u0026#39; I strongly suggest that the original Japanese subtitled version is watched rather than the inferior English dubbed one for maximum effect. This is one movie experience that will stay with you for days. Highly recommended.”
