Repurposing ideas he had for a canceled <i>Lupin the Third</i> film, Oshii collaborated with artist Yoshitaka Amano to create this groundbreaking and meditative film about dreams and faith. In a submerged city, a young girl cares for a large egg that she believes to be the egg of an angel. A boy with a huge gun alights from a peculiar chariot. He is in search of the bird he saw in his dream. In an abandoned city, it seems as if a faint sense of sympathy has developed between the two. Praised for its lyricism and poetic style, Oshii’s pioneering film has been beloved and hugely influential in Japan’s animation community.<br><br>11/09 (Thu) 7:30pm | MMCP<br>Screening with: The James Show (20 mins)<br><br>14/09 (Sun) 3:00pm | BC<br>Screening with: LOVER (7 mins)<br>
