About
“Who are…you?”
Mima Kirigoe, a former pop idol, makes a bold transition into acting, but her reinvention begins to fracture her sense of identity. As a stalker shadows her and a series of murders unfolds around her, Mima finds herself increasingly unable to distinguish performance from reality—or determine whether another version of herself is taking over.
Satoshi Kon’s groundbreaking psychological thriller blurs fiction and reality, dreams and delusions, and celebrity and identity into a dizzying hall of mirrors. A landmark of adult animation, Perfect Blue remains as unsettling and hypnotic as ever.
This screening is part of a special Black Swan + Perfect Blue double feature presented by Spoke Art Gallery. See Perfect Blue at 8:50 PM on its own, or catch Black Swan at 6:30 PM first with a special $24 double-feature ticket.
Presented by Spoke Art Gallery as part of their ongoing series of curated alternative film posters. Featuring two new limited edition screen prints by Vincent Aseo (Philippines). As an added bonus, all attendees at this event will receive a complimentary mini-print designed by Bekah Phillips-Nevin (Orange County, CA)
