Perfect Blue/ Japan/ 1997/ Dir: Satoshi Kon/ 81 Min/ Current Rotten Tomatoes Score: 85%

In this iconic psychological thriller, rising pop star Mima quits singing to pursue a career as an actress and model. But her fans aren’t ready to see her go. Encouraged by her handlers, Mima takes on a recurring role on a popular TV show – then all of a sudden, her handlers and collaborators start to turn up dead. With a stalker closing in and the fabric of Mima’s reality slowly starting to crumble, the film thrusts viewers into a nightmarish odyssey where the line between fantasy and reality grows ever thinner.

"PERFECT BLUE's success lies in the twisted, self-referential storyline that intercuts reality with fantasy so fluidly that viewers inevitably take on Mima's shattered point of view, unable to distinguish the truth until the stunning conclusion." – Tasha Robinson, Sci-Fi Weekly

Black Swan / USA/ 2010/ Dir: Darren Aronofsky/ 108 Min/ Current Rotten Tomatoes Score: 85%

A psychological thriller set in the world of the New York City Ballet, Black Swan stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a featured dancer who finds herself locked in a web of competitive intrigue with a new rival at the company (Mila Kunis).
