\u2605 About the Film:<\/strong>
\n“Godzilla”
\nJapan | 1954 | 96min | B&W | Japanese with English Subtitles<\/p>\n

Story: Godzilla (a.k.a. Gojira) is the roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. It\u2019s also a remarkably humane and melancholic drama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire population\u2019s fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning almost thirty sequels. A thrilling, tactile spectacle that continues to be a cult phenomenon, the original, 1954 Japanese version is presented here, along with Godzilla, King of the Monsters, the 1956 \u201cAmericanized\u201d version.<\/p>\n
