Description: Further DetailsTitle: Godzilla (The Criterion Collection)Condition: NewFormat: 4K UHD Blu-rayDescription: 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, spawning more than thirty sequels. A thrilling, tactile spectacle that continues to be a cult phenomenon, the original 1954 Japanese version is presented here, along with Godzilla, King of the Monsters, the 1956 “Americanized” version. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES * New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack * One 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special features * High-definition digital restoration of Godzilla, King of the Monsters, Terry Morse’s 1956 reworking of the original, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack * Audio commentary for both movies by film historian David Kalat * Interviews with actors Akira Takarada and Haruo Nakajima and special effects technicians Yoshio Irie and Eizo Kaimai * Interview with legendary Godzilla score composer Akira Ifukube * Featurette detailing Godzilla’s photographic effects, introduced by special effects director Koichi Kawakita and special effects photographer Motoyoshi Tomioka * Interview with Japanese-film critic Tadao Sato * The Unluckiest Dragon, an illustrated audio essay featuring historian Greg Pflugfelder describing the tragic fate of the fishing vessel Daigo Fukuryu Maru, a real-life event that inspired Godzilla * Trailers * PLUS: An essay by critic J.
