SYNOPSIS

ABOUT THE FILMS:

 

GODZILLA MINUS ONE/MINUS COLOR, 2023, Dir. Takashi Yamazaki, 125 Min, Toho International, Japan

In Japanese with English subtitles.

 

In postwar Japan, Godzilla brings new devastation to an already scorched landscape. With no military intervention or government help in sight, the survivors must join together in the face of despair and fight back against an unrelenting horror.

From renowned director, screenwriter & VFX visionary Takashi Yamazaki (THE ETERNAL ZERO, STAND BY ME DORAEMON) comes GODZILLA MINUS ONE, a film about the power of hope in the face of despair.

FORMAT: DCP


 

SHIN GODZILLA: ORTHOCHROMATIC, 2016, Dirs. Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi, 120 Min, Toho International, Japan

In Japanese with English subtitles.
 

In Tokyo Bay, the Japan Coast Guard discovers a mysterious pleasure boat adrift, completely empty. As the crew investigates, the water suddenly begins to shake as a massive underwater explosion occurs, triggering the collapse of an underground highway and widespread panic. Soon after, a bizarre monster emerges and wreaks havoc across Tokyo.

Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi’s critically acclaimed masterpiece returns in a striking black-and-white version, commemorating Godzilla’s 70th anniversary. The new ORTHOchromatic edition, featuring stark contrasts and deep blacks, reimagines the film’s visual impact, offering a fresh and powerful take on the iconic kaiju within Japan’s contemporary political context.

FORMAT: DCP
