Film Details
Playing in THE ORIGINAL.
The latest film in Toho’s classic series, Godzilla Minus One was crafted to be the most terrifying incarnation of the character yet, returning the series to its post-war roots with a Japan gripped by the helplessness of having already lost everything before this new, monstrous threat emerges. When despair is piled on top of despair, will the people be able to survive?
Calling Godzilla Minus One “the culmination of all the films I have made to date, and one that deserves to be “experienced” rather than “watched” in the theater”, the film is written and directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki. Inspired by formative experiences with Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Yamazaki has become a leading figure in Japan’s visual effects industry, and has won multiple awards for bringing Japan’s pop culture icons to the big screen, with films including Stand By Me Doraemon, Lupin III: The First and The Great War of Archimedes.
Godzilla Minus One is also selected as the closing film of the 36th Tokyo International Film Festival.
