Angel's Egg (1985)


Tokuma Shoten
Directed by Mamoru Oshii
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia 

A young girl wanders a crumbling city while protecting an egg hidden under her dress. She encounters a boy carrying a large weapon who has just witnessed a large spaceship land in the city. They eventually form a bond and try to figure where they are, who they are and what the egg means. All signs point to Noah's Ark and other Christian symbolism. Oshii's beautiful artwork is lost in a meandering, pointless story that goes absolutely nowhere.
