Egg

About This Movie

Egg (2018) is this intriguing little film that weaves animation with documentary-style storytelling. The atmosphere feels heavy, almost claustrophobic as we follow a woman's complex relationship with this egg—it's both a source of temptation and dread. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really sit with her emotions, which are layered and raw. Themes of shame and self-destruction emerge starkly; you sense her inner turmoil in every frame. The practical effects are minimal but impactful, creating an intimate connection that feels very personal. It's interesting how the film captures such a small, yet meaningful moment from the director's life, turning it into this reflective piece that resonates in its simplicity. Pretty unique in its approach, definitely worth considering for any collection.
