Destroy All Monsters (Honda, 1968): Barbican Cinema, 6.30pm
This film is part of the Japanese monsters season at the Barbican. Full details here.
Time Out review:
A romping Japanese monster rally, the 20th production in this vein from
Toho studios, who have energetically devastated Japan on film virtually
every year since 1954. Their output is graphic and witty, with a weird
gladiatorial style which has emerged under the guidance of Honda since
his first Godzilla. In some ways these features are more like
sporting events than fantasies, with a radio commentary ('It's Godzilla
leading the attack') as the monsters of this world rally to protect it
from extraterrestrial invasion.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
