Angel’s Egg (1985)

Hoezo in KINO

Mamoru Oshii’s Angel’s Egg is an anime like no other. With virtually no dialogue, the film takes the viewer into a world characterized by its symbolism. Those who know Mamoru Oshii mainly from the iconic and wildly successful Ghost in the Shell, will see his affinity with philosophical themes in this beautifully crafted and surreal passion project. As a unique anime, Angel’s Egg proves the power of the medium to push its boundaries and captivate the viewer on a deep, intellectual level. A profound visual experience. Japanese language with English subtitles.

Storyline

A mysterious girl wanders through an abandoned city, carrying a giant egg carefully in her arms. The surroundings are quiet and enigmatic, as if time itself has stopped. Along the way, she meets a boy with a massive weapon who is searching for the bird he saw in his dream. Together, they roam through a magical world that remains inscrutable. A legendary 1985 anime, now showing in cinemas for the first time. Newly restored in 4K, from the creator of Ghost in the Shell.
