Angel's Egg (4K Restored) (MOViE MOViE anifest 2025)

Repurposing ideas he had for a canceled Lupin the Third film, Oshii collaborated with artist Yoshitaka Amano to create this groundbreaking and meditative film about dreams and faith. In a submerged city, a young girl cares for a large egg that she believes to be the egg of an angel. A boy with a huge gun alights from a peculiar chariot. He is in search of the bird he saw in his dream. In an abandoned city, it seems as if a faint sense of sympathy has developed between the two. Praised for its lyricism and poetic style, Oshii’s pioneering film has been beloved and hugely influential in Japan’s animation community.
