DanDaDanSeeing Perfect Blue on the big screen was great. The 4k remaster is fun though obviously does what it can with the film originally supposed to be an OVA.
Worth it for the one person excaliming "holy shit" very loudly when the first kill happened.
COMPU73E ❄️@Dan just back from the cinema, first time seeing this. I actually clapped during the credits. amazing film and very much "my jam"
definitely one that will stand up to repeat viewings
@COMPU73E Yay, glad you like it. Its such an experience and getting to see some of those Satoshi Kon transitions on the big screen was so great, he really was a master.
@COMPU73E Don't know if you've ever watched but Every Frame a Painting a number of years back did a piece on Kon and his work. One of my fav video essays
Satoshi Kon - Editing Space & Time
Four years after his passing, we still haven't quite caught up to Satoshi Kon, one of the great visionaries of modern film. In just four features and one TV ...
@Dan thanks, that was a good watch! I loved that part of Perfect Blue, really enhanced the "hang on, which bits were actually real?" feeling I kept having. I loved the sequence where she kept waking up in her apartment over and over
I've already been on Amazon and preordered the 4K special edition that comes with the standard blu-ray, really looking forward to watching it again
@COMPU73E Yeah i have the original blu ray release from a while back and the soundtrack on vinyl. I've been humming and hawing on should i double dip again 😅
And yeah i love the story within a story, how it fucks around with your perception of what's real.
All of his stuff is great but if you haven't seen i think Paranoia Agent follows closest to this of his other work.
Purple, he/him
