Godzilla (Criterion Collection) (DVD, 1954) 2 disc special edition

Description: 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 almost 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.TWO-DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew high-definition digital restorationNew high-definition digital restoration of Godzilla, King of the Monsters, Terry Morse’s 1956 reworking of the originalAudio commentary for both movies by film historian David KalatNew interviews with actors Akira Takarada and Haruo Nakajima and special effects technicians Yoshio Irie and Eizo KaimaiInterview with legendary Godzilla score composer Akira IfukubeFeaturette detailing Godzilla’s photographic effects, introduced by special effects director Koichi Kawakita and special effects photographer Motoyoshi TomiokaNew interview with Japanese-film critic Tadao SatoThe 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 GodzillaTrailers for Godzilla and Godzilla, King of the MonstersNew English subtitle translationPLUS: A new essay by critic J.
