Angel’s Egg (4K Restoration)

Friday 10 July 2026 - Thursday 16 July 2026

Cinema

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.

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

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

 

Pre-recorded introduction by Dr Jonathan Clements

This screening includes a pre-recorded introduction which provides some interesting context around the career of Mamoru Oshii, the creatives involved in the making of the film, its reception when it was first released and references why the film has garnered a unique reputation among a diverse range of fans over the years.
