Angel's Egg

Forty years after the film’s original release, Angel's Egg is presented in an all-new 4K restoration, supervised by director Mamoru Oshii, 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 the feature, and revered artist Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D). The film beautifully intertwines Oshii’s thematic reflections on philosophy and theolog with Amano’s distinctive ink painting style, culminating in an arrestingly beautiful hand-drawn allegorical fantasy.
The 7.30pm screening on Sat 25 Jul will include a special 14 minute pre-recorded introduction by Dr Jonathan Clements before the film.
