In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Angel's Egg (1985)
An anime directed by Mamoru Oshii.
A girl carrying and egg through a ruined city meets a man who follows her.
I had to turn this off at 38 minutes because there was a lot of dialogue but no subtitles. Not being an expert at Japanese, I couldn't understand what they were saying. What I saw was dark and pretty, but didn't have that early anime look like Fist of the North Star. After reading wikipedia, I found out that the plot is exactly as ambiguous as I thought. I'm rating it poor for being incoherent.
