Cinema Galerie : Angel's Egg

02/02 @ 18h45

The film by Mamoru Oshii, director of the cult animation "Ghost in the Shell" and the now famous Polish-Japanese "Avalon" with Małgorzata Foremniak, is a philosophical and ambitious experiment full of intelligent symbolism, using biblical motifs and dreamlike aesthetics. In interviews over the course of four decades, Oshii has repeatedly explained the meaning of individual scenes, the ending, and his fascination with hope as something that may be hidden in a mystical egg.

Oshii created Angel's Egg in collaboration with visual artist Yoshitaka Amano, one of the leading creators of anime. The film premiered in 1985, and critics immediately recognized it as a sophisticated, ambitious work of art, although it took four decades for Angel's Egg to receive the worldwide recognition it deserved. This is reflected in this year's premiere of a digitally restored version of Angel's Egg at the Cannes Film Festival.
