Details
Angel’s Egg celebrates its 40th anniversary with this 4k restoration!
In a decaying city, a little girl takes care of a large egg which she believes was laid by an angel and crosses paths with a gun-toting young man searching for a bird he saw in a dream.
Here’s the trailer:

First released directly to home video in 1985, the film is a creative collaboration between internationally 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.
The movie is in Japanese with English subtitles.
The movie starts at 9:30pm, so let’s meet up at 8:50pm for introductions and catch ups before we head in.
