“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. Takashi Shimura stars as the revered palaeontologist who uncovers the horrible secret at the heart of the monster (Godzilla is a long dormant Jurassic beast awoken by the atom bomb).”

“Widely considered a touchstone of early Asian cinema; Kinugasa Teinosuke’s A Page of Madness (1926) was an independently produced, experimental, avant-garde work from Japan whose brilliant use of cinematic technique was equal to if not superior to that of contemporary European cinema and very much reminiscent of Robert Weine’s The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920).”

“By day sweet-faced Tokiko (Tanaka Kinuyo) is an ordinary typist but come nightfall she’s a fun-loving gangster’s moll. This formally accomplished and psychologically complex gangster tale pivots on the growing attraction between Joji (Joji Oka), a hardened career criminal, and Kazuko (Sumiko Mizukubo), the sweet-natured older sister of a newly initiated young hoodlum—a relationship that provokes the jealousy of Joji’s otherwise patient moll, Tokiko.”
