GOJIRA!!!

Japan’s beloved atomic lizard was revitalized in 2023 thanks to filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki’s awe-inspiring, explosive reboot of the kaiju icon, GODZILLA MINUS ONE.

Hailed by critics and audiences alike (it is now the highest-grossing live action Japanese film ever in North America), its path of destruction is set to continue with parent company Toho‘s glorious black and white re-release, the brilliantly titled GODZILLA MINUS ONE: MINUS COLOR (which will be screening at the Rio Theatre alongside and Takashi Honda‘s original 1954 classic on January 29, and again for a final screening on February 1).

“It’s the rare kaiju movie that cares this deeply about the inner lives and motivations of the people scurrying out of the way of the monster’s ginormous thudding feet.” (Slate)

“You wouldn’t believe a monster movie could make you sob, as well as think, but Godzilla Minus One does.” (Financial Times)

“It puts the trauma of history at the very centre of the story, ultimately crafting a story about human beings pulling together to heal and defeat an inexplicable force of destruction.” (Guardian)

“This may be the only Godzilla movie that will make you feel verklempt by the time it concludes.” (Hollywood Reporter)
