1997 anime feature film directed by Kon Satoshi. It is loosely based on the novel Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis by Yoshikazu Takeuchi, with a screenplay by Sadayuki Murai.
The plot follows Kirigoe Mima, a member of a Japanese idol group who retires from music to pursue an acting career. As she becomes a victim of stalking by her obsessive fan Uchida Mamoru, gruesome murders take place, and she begins losing her grip on reality. The film deals with the blurring of the line between fantasy and reality, a commonly found theme in Kon's other works, such as Sennen Joyuu (2001), Mousou Dairinin (2004), and Paprika (2006).
