Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth

Welcome to the apocalypse.

1997101 min7.4 / 10

A surreal, philosophically dense apocalyptic meditation on identity and meaning, assembled from fragmented narrative and visual abstraction.

Originally a collection of clips from the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series, Death was created as a precursor to the re-worked ending of the series. Rebirth was intended as that re-worked ending, but after production overruns Rebirth became only the first half of the first part of The End of Evangelion, with some minor differences.
