70th Anniversary Screening!

Godzilla (a.k.a. Gojira) is the roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. It’s 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.

1954, 96 Minutes, Black and White, Japan, In Japanese with English Subtitles, Directed by Ishiro Honda

“Godzilla belongs with -- and might well trump -- the art films Hiroshima Mon Amour and Dr. Strangelove as a daring attempt to fashion a terrible poetry from the mind-melting horror of atomic warfare.”
– J. Hoberman, THE VILLAGE VOICE
“The most emotionally authentic fake monster movie ever made.”
– David Edelstein, SLATE
“Godzilla has never looked as good as in Honda's original conception, and few sci-fi creatures have equaled the size or impact of its first footsteps.”
– Janice Page, BOSTON GLOBE
