GODZILLA MINUS ONE is a revelation in black and white. Rather than simply throw a monochrome filter over the existing film, Takashi Yamazaki and his crew painstakingly remastered every shot. The results are terrifying in a completely unique way.

ゴジラ死す (Godzilla Dies)
The great Kenpachiro Satsuma – the dedicated actor who terrorized the world as Hedorah, tried to conquer it as Gigan, and beautifully redefined the physicality, personality and soul of Godzilla across all 7 Heisei films – has passed away. He was 76.

The whole “Oppenheimer is a Godzilla prequel” thing has been punchlined to death, but Godzilla really is the moment where Oppenheimer’s bomb transcends history to become mythic. Where the Manhattan Project’s reality ends, Godzilla and other cultural reactions to the bomb begin.
