Is Angel's Egg one of the greatest animations ever made? What are some other animated films on the same level of kinography?

I like the atmosphere. Cool gothic setting punctuated with moments of surrealism and organic nature. I don't truly believe it has any meaningful subtext or symbolism. The setting itself is the story and the content, and the characters are just a vehicle to give us an insight to the world. That's by far interesting enough in my opinion. I don't vividly remember the soundtrack (been about 4 years since my last watch), so I'll keep an ear out whenever I feel like watching it again.

Are you fucking retarded? The OP doesn't say anything about symbolism, there's hardly any in Angel's Egg other than some explicit stuff like the ark and the cross-shaped sceptre. I presume the Taoist robe at the end of Tarkovsky's Offret / Sacrifice also counts as symbolism for you instead of just being an explicit reference to the material sacrifice being made?

>>81418794
Literally has as much depth as a Gerald Scarfe animation, expect those only last two or three minutes and are generally part of a better context. LSD art is the lowest tier of experimental art.

Judging by all the posts up until now, does it only count as animated kino if it uses the medium in some creative way?

I mean, pic related is one of my favorite animations but I'll have to recognize it could as well have been achieved as a live action film.
>>
>>81419684
I'm not here to spoonfeed you. Just read Tarkovsky's insights about symbolism.
Why are you pretending you know what you're talking about?
>>
>>81419755
Not that guy before you call samefag or reply to me like I'm him. You're just demonstrating your lack of knowledge on the subject by hiding behind a "do your own work" wall. You can't argue something, then when asked to explain, duck for cover.
>>
>>81419755
Because, as far as my comprehension goes, saying that the entire movie is religious symbolism implies that it only has any substance if you know exactly what the symbolism refers to rather than being its own self-referential narrative. That is obviously not the case for Angel's Egg, you don't necessarily need to be a christian to understand why the death of transcendental belief is something tragic, neither does that mean there aren't other thematic layers to this film that you might be able to enjoy even if you don't particularly care about faith. As for Tarkovsky, I never read anything from him because I'm honestly scared of being disappointed by one of my favorite directors, as tempting as getting a copy of Sculpting in Time might be.

It's not about that. A symbol is limited, it contains in itself a definite meaning. You can't express something so infinite like the world around us by relying on symbolism.
>I am an enemy of symbols. Symbol is too narrow a concept for me in the sense that symbols exist in order to be deciphered. An artistic image on the other hand is not to be deciphered, it is an equivalent of the world around us. Rain in Solaris is not a symbol, it is only rain which at certain moment has particular significance to the hero. But it does not symbolise anything. It only expresses. This rain is an artistic image. Symbol for me is something too complicated.

Wait, Tarkovsky is saying that the only thing that distinguishes a symbol from a non-symbol is that the symbol only designates one specific meaning while a non-symbol is infinite since it expresses something deeper than an ordinary semantic reference? But if that's the case then isn't that non-symbolic expression incredibly vague and highly subjective? How are you going to identify exactly where an artist was expressing something rather than just directly referencing something? Can't you simultaneously symbolize a thing while also expressing an infinite amount of possibilites for that thing? How can you even distinguish a symbol from a non-symbol? Does he have any further development on this?

Holy shit, I knew reading something from him was going to be disappointing.

>Rain in Solaris is not a symbol, it is only rain which at certain moment has particular significance to the hero
>not a symbol
>it is only rain which at certain moment has particular significance to the hero
So the rain is symbolic of whatever is particularly significant to the hero?

>I never create allegories. I create my own world. That world does not signify anything unusual. It just exists, it has no other meaning. I think symbol and allegory rob the artist. Creator brings up images which express, reveal life the way it is. They are not Aesop's fables. This manner of working would be too primitive not only for the contemporary art but for art of any era. Artistic image possesses an infinity of meanings just like life carries an infinity of meanings. An image changed into a symbol cannot be analysed. When I create my images I use no symbolism of any kind. I want to create an image, not a symbol. That's why I don't believe in interpretations of supposed meanings of my pictures. I'm not interested in narrow political or social issues. I want to create images that would touch the viewer's soul to some degree. That's why in my films I tell precisely those stories and not the others.
>It makes no difference to me how the public receives and interprets my films. I make films in such a way as to create certain spiritual state in the viewer. As a result he cannot remain unchanged after watching the film. But what the viewer thinks about my film's style is unimportant to me. Viewers search for meanings as if this was some sort of a charade. I know of no work of art whose meaning would be clear to the degree demanded by some. When they listen to music, read a novel or watch a play they frequently encounter fragments they don't understand. It's a normal state of the relationship toward a work of art. But when they go to the cinema — they demand complete clarity, total understanding. I am against discrimination in art. Clarity is not most important. The world created by an artist is as complex as the world that surrounds him.
Yes, he does.
But how is he wrong?
How can you symbolize something while also expressing infinite possilities for that thing? If you do that it ceases to be a symbol.
