Framed - daily film guessing game

Framed #147
🎥 🟥 🟥 🟩 ⬛ ⬛ ⬛


Haven't seen it. It's on my watchlist but looks a bit too heavy-going - is it?
'twould benefit from a few car chases, bit of a shoot up and the odd explosion - but then what film wouldn't
 
Not seen today's. But I've heard interesting things about it.

Film trivia nerd alert!

In several ways it's Aranofsky's very loosely sideways adaptation of Perfect Blue - Satoshi Kon's thriller about a pop-singer-turning-actress who becomes convinced she's succumbing to multiple personality disorder.

It's one of my favourite films and probably my favourite anime. Like much of his work it's not shy about criticising the omnipresent misogyny and persistent, often obsessive, voyeurism present in Japan at the time, and uses the medium of animation to make the real and the surreal both appear equally concrete.

IIRC Aronofsky optioned Perfect Blue for a US remake that never happened. But the scene in Requiem for a Dream where Jennifer Connolly screams in to the bath was lifted directly. IMHO it's well worth a watch.

For some reason that scene is quite memorable, though I got luck that either there aren't a whole bunch of other films with scenes like that, or if there are, they happened to pick the film with a scene like that in it that I've seen :hmm:

Got in on the second one today as I remember the bikes but never really warmed to the film itself so it's clearly not stuck in my mind very much. The first film that sprang to mind from frame 1 was The Mist as I thought it looked like the bit at the start with the fallen tree and the boathouse.
 
And having just watched some clips of it on YouTube it looks fucking awful. Let's be charitable and say its not aged well
