recently i went to a screening of Angel’s Egg, and it felt truly special and beautiful. it’s hard to fully describe this film. i kept thinking about it for days afterward. there’s very little dialogue, but the visuals and small details express more than words ever could.

to me, Angel’s Egg is a tale of a fallen figure wandering through a strange place that is both dead and alive. her main purpose is to protect something fragile and help a new being come into existence.

Dirt, torture, and helplessness
Pinocchio was born without permission, and everything else was against him
He wasn’t a true threat
In this tale, everyone else was a monster
Only Pinocchio remained innocent
He was trapped in a machine where power and greed were the main forces, and he was only a puppet in others’ hands

I loved this film, but the second part broke me
By the end, I felt exhausted

This movie should be called „a never ending suffering”
