About The Killing of an Egg
This animated short film is about a guy who is about to eat a soft-boiled egg. As he's cracking the egg, he can hear a voice coming from within--telling him to STOP! Every time he hits the egg, someone from within the egg yells at him.
Directed by Paul Driessen, The Killing of an Egg leans on a strong ensemble — Peter Bierman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1977.
