… and it kinda sucks? Dgmw there are things I liked about it (Ellen Burstyn and Jennifer Connelly give great performances) , but between the gimmicky edits and the palpable lack of insight into drug use/abuse/addiction, it just comes across as a less entertaining Reefer Madness. Imho.
agreed that Perfect Blue is really good, but the SA/R scene was way over the top and i wish it wasn’t in there
Thanks for mentioning this, as I sometimes forget to bring it up, though people should be aware of it before they go see it. I agree that scene is very uncomfortable and difficult to watch (very much intentional on the part of the director), but I personally felt like it did have a important role in the story and character development, and was a pretty key part of the film in general.
