Angel’s Egg

Introduced by Depot's Marketing Manager, Bob Prosser

In the ruins of a strange, underwater city, a young girl takes care of a large egg she holds carefully in her arms. A boy with a gun arrives in search of a bird he saw in his dream, and it seems as if feelings of sympathy are developing between the two as they wonder through the lands.

The film is a creative collaboration between acclaimed director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell), who wrote and directed the feature, and revered artist Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D). The film beautifully intertwines Oshii’s thematic reflections on philosophy and theology with Amano’s distinctive ink painting style, culminating in an arrestingly beautiful hand-drawn allegorical fantasy.

'A vision of the future that ties itself to the themes of faith and identity that have dominated fiction since the start of the written word' - Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
