Reviews

Irishchatter Now some movies or any other media, don't need a plot but this one I have to say, needed a plot because it was rather confusing and boring with less speaking in it. All we know it's about a young girl bringing an egg and meeting a guy but whats more to it? The drawing of the anime was ok but I wouldn't consider calling this a masterpiece or amazing, I just didn't find it eye-catching and it even made me yawn by just skipping to the end. I didn't find the end satisfying enough either. I'm pretty disappointed that I didn't enjoy this 1 hour movie enough as much as I would've liked!

Introgreen Angel's Egg is so far the best anime I have ever seen. With it's stunning animation, heavy symbolism and long scenes the movie has a very surreal, almost religious atmosphere. The dialogues are very sparse but deliberate, which really establishes the emphasis on visual side of the work. The art is beautiful and highly detailed. The gorgeus and memorable shots are very well accompanied with fantasic music. The story itself is pretty vague and confusing but when taking in account the entirety of the piece it creates an icreadible exploration of deep themes of faith and it's implications. Highly recommended.

Zwolle Zwollstrom This movie is definitely not for the normal mainstream viewer, but if you like a movie that leaves you after the first viewing with a feeling of "what the hell" than you are right here.Besides it is not a "what the hell" movie in regard to it seems to be random stuff but a thought-out piece of art with meaning in every frame.The only thing that bothered me a bit when i started watching was the art-style, especially the faces of the main character are weird.So check it out if you are the type for thought provoking films that you have to watch at least twice.

Robert Thompson (justbob1982) Version I saw: HD, subtitled Actors: 6/10 Plot/script: 5/10 Photography/visual style: 8/10 Music/score: 6/10 Overall: 6/10 This is an early work from director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell), and it features the collaboration of Yoshitaka Amano. I think this is an important fact, as it really bears the marks of a story written by a graphic artist. The emphasis is all on maintaining the melancholic atmosphere, with little attention given to tying the plot together into something that makes sense.With only two characters, and dialogue so sparse that you have to wait 24 minutes for the first true conversation, Angel's Egg is so enigmatic that it is practically impenetrable. Hints of themes and intellectual ideas crop up, but none are explored in any satisfying way.However, the visuals really are breathtaking and stylish enough to make up for all that. As long as you go in expecting a feast for the eyes and a snack for the mind, you will not come away disappointed.For my full review, see my independent film blog on Blogspot, Cinema Inferno: http://cinemainferno-blog.blogspot.co.uk
