Requiem for a Dream
American filmmaker Darren Aronofsky acknowledged the similarities in his 2010 film "Black Swan", but denied that "Black Swan" was inspired by "Perfect Blue"; his previous film "Requiem for a Dream" features a remake of a scene from "Perfect Blue". A re-issued blog entry mentioned Aronofsky's film "Requiem for a Dream" as being among Kon's list of films he viewed for 2010. In addition, Kon blogged about his meeting with Aronofsky in 2001.
