A 4K restored version of Mamoru Oshii and Yoshitaka Amano’s Angel’s Egg screens at Fantastic Fest this year and the Gutter’s own Carol Borden was fortunate enough to see it!

Angel’s Egg is a film best experienced on its own and then pondered afterward. It should be experienced on its own terms. Don’t look for the pleasures of plot, explication and absolute certainty about what is happening. There are more elements to film than plot and different films emphasize different elements according to their needs. Sometimes that means a lot of silence, a strange vision, an eerie soundtrack, and beautiful art.”
