The greatest monster of all time is back, and in his 70th year, he’s more relevant and brilliant than ever—now presented in a stunning black-and-white special edition.

One of the finest films in the Godzilla franchise, this reimagining of the classic story is set in post-World War II Japan, a nation in ruins. A former kamikaze pilot, haunted by guilt over his survival, seeks redemption as Godzilla emerges, bringing devastation in his wake. With intense action, deep emotional stakes, and breathtaking visuals, the film redefines the legendary kaiju as a symbol of post-war trauma.

This rare monochrome screening pays homage to Godzilla’s origins in the iconic 1950s films. Stripping away colour, it heightens the film’s stark emotional storytelling and intensifies its haunting atmosphere.
