content: The reason that this film lacks cohesion between the animation and live action, is that the creator did not create any of the animated segments. All of this film's animated sequences are taken directly from Mamoru Oshii's brilliant yet obscure film, Tenshi no Tamago (Angel's Egg), and justice is certainly not done to it. Many people (including myself) consider the original film to be Oshii's best work, and it is without a doubt, a masterpiece. This film degrades it by cutting parts of it together with footage (live action) of a much lower standard.I advise anyone who finds this film interesting to track down "Tenshi no Tamago". It is generally hard to find, but if you can get a hold of a copy (preferably an original widescreen DVD) it's well worth it - Tenshi no Tamago is certainly a film worthy of a five star rating.
