Mamoru Oshii's Angel's Egg is a deeply personal film, reflecting his unique vision and themes of Christianity, despite its initial comedic intent.
In a career retrospective talk at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, Mamoru Oshii spoke, if not regretfully, mournfully about "Angel's Egg." The legendary Japanese writer and director-who secured his place in animation history with "Ghost in the Shell"-said that his dreamlike, allegorical 1985 OVA film nearly killed his career: "After that, nobody gave me jobs for three years," he said.
