Angel's Egg

Forty years after the film’s original release, Anime Limited is proud to present an all-new 4K restoration of Angel's Egg, supervised by director Mamoru Oshii, in UK cinemas for the very first time.

In an 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. At first, it seems as if feelings of sympathy are developing between the two.

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