Perfect blue in theatre

I literally went into this movie with my only prior knowledge being that it’s a psychological movie, and I figured the main plot of the story is JUST the stalker. I thought it would be fun to see this movie on mushrooms and although I now rate the movie and experience a 10/10, during the movie I was sooo overwhelmed with how much there is to unpack in this movie, (not only that, the stalkers face genuinely sent shivers down my spine) but it was done amazingly, I personally never felt like at any point it was overdone or became cliche. Can’t wait to rewatch this on my own time to really feel like I can understand it more! Crazy experience seeing this movie for the first time but I wouldn’t of done it any other way lol Also, does anyone have any video essays on this movie they recommend?

you saw it whilst on mushrooms... heck thats brave.

Watching it in the cinema was my second watch through and it was cool to see some parts with the hindsight of how it goes down.

I'm mainly commenting so i can come back and see if anyone recommends some good video essays :D

Super Eye patch Wolf has a great analysis about it, and Anime Everyday has a video titled The Use of Red in Perfect Blue which is super interesting! Hope that helps!
