The Disturbing Reality of Perfect Blue | Monsters of the Week
11,860#PerfectBlue #MonstersOfTheWeek
Satoshi Kon’s 1997 psychological horror movie Perfect Blue is a masterpiece -- and its strange horror has become something that nobody could have forseen 20 years ago.
This is a deep-dive into Satoshi Kon’s dark mirror on Japanese idol culture and the role of the Otaku -- and how it evolved from an extreme social outlier into a cultivable brand identity for the masses.
