    • Quotes

      Boy: I've seen a tree like this somewere... When was it? So long ago that I've forgotten... Under a sky where the clouds made sound as they moved. The black horizon swelled and from it grew a huge tree. It sucked the life from the ground... And it's pulsing branches reached up, as if to grasp something...

    • Alternate versions
      In the North Korean release, the names of the Japanese cast and crew names are written in Korean characters.

    Beautiful visuals of a dark world.

    Angel's Egg is a visual poetry. More like a nightmare in a very dark world. Visually elegant and it takes you to another world, a dream world. A must watch if you are hungry for a different kind of cinematic experience.
