GodziIIa (a.k.a. Gojira) is the roaring granddaddy of aIl monster movies. lt’s aIso a remarkabIy humane and melanchoIy drama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeIing 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 internationaI icon of destruction, spawning more than thirty sequels. A thriIling, tactiIe spectacIe that continues to be a cult phenomenon, the original 1954 Japanese version is presented here, along with Godzilla, King of the Monsters, the 1956 "Americanized" version.
