The roaring granddaddy of all monster movies, Godzilla is also a remarkably humane and melancholy 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’s fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning almost thirty sequels.

In Japanese with English subtitles

Screening as part of Kaiju Summer.
