A thrilling, tactile spectacle that continues to be a cult phenomenon, and has spawned more than thirty sequels, 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.
Dendy is proud to present the original 1954 Japanese version on the big screen, restored in glorious 4K. See it first on National Godzilla Day Nov 3, before it’s unleashed for limited sessions from Nov 7.
Japan is thrown into a panic after several ships are sunk near Odo Island. An expedition to the island led by Dr. Yemani soon discover something far more devastating than imagined in the form of a 50 meter tall monster whom the natives call Gojira. Now the monster begins a rampage that threatens to destroy not only Japan, but the rest of the world as well.
In Japanese language with English subtitles.
