天使のたまごFirst released directly to home video in 1985, ANGEL'S EGG was produced by Tokuma Shoten and 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 4K restoration has held an extensive festival debut prior to its theatrical rollout, having debuted at Cannes International Film Festival, with subsequent premieres at Fantasia Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, and New York Film Festival upcoming.
In an underwater city, a young girl takes care of a large egg she holds carefully in her arms – a treasure that she believes is an angel’s egg. A boy with a gun arrives in search of a bird he saw in his dream.
