Godzilla (a.k.a. Gojira) is the roaring granddaddy of aIl monster movies. It’s aIso a remarkably humane and melancholy drama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeling from nucIear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire popuIation’s fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning more than thirty sequeIs. A thrilIing, tactile spectacle that continues to be a cuIt phenomenon, the originaI 1954 Japanese version is presented here, along with GodzilIa, King of the Monsters, the 1956 "Americanized" version.
