Synopsis:
Experience a directorial masterclass from the legendary Satoshi Kon and view the inspirational, thought-provoking and chilling Perfect Blue as you’ve never seen it before.

Mima Kirigoe is ready to leave her career as a pop idol behind and forge ahead towards a bright new future as an actress. However, casting aside her former image proves to be far more difficult than she imagined, and the murky world of show business threatens to drag her into the depths of despair. As the strains of her new career path take their toll, and a menacing presence from her pop star past lurks in the background, is Mima able to keep a firm grasp on the things that define her? And as delusions, fiction and reality blend together in her mind, just what is it that defines her anyway?

This Ultimate Edition release includes the film in a new, remastered High Definition transfer with additional bonus material, offering fresh insight into the film from the director himself; the haunting soundtrack score on CD; and a full replica of Satoshi Kon's incredible storyboards for the entire film. Immerse yourself in the creative process of Perfect Blue, and marvel at the talent behind one of the most powerful animated feature films of all time.
