GODZILLA VS. HEDORAH aka The Smog Monster (ゴジラ対ヘドラ | Gojira tai Hedora) d. Yoshimitsu Banno, 1971 + Intro & intermission, presented by Token Homo at Genesis Cinema’s Bar Paragon (19 JUL 20:30) / Part of BAR TRASH – MONSTER MAYHEM!
“An ever evolving alien life-form arrives to consume Earth’s rampant pollution. Spewing mists of sulphuric acid and corrosive sludge, neither humanity or Godzilla may be able to defeat this toxic menace.”
“GODZILLA VS. HEDORAH aka The Smog Monster (1971) was the 11th spawning of Godzilla and possibly the most critically derided (to that point…). The big guy had by now transformed into a full-blown defender of the Earth – rather than its avenging destroyer – and goes into battle with shape-shifting/flying toxic sludge. Controversially, Godzilla even flies himself thanks to the power of his atomic ray… “
“The film – directed by Yoshimitsu Banno, with special effects by Teruyoshi Nakano – is a psychedelic trip complete with go-go dancers, fish-head hallucinations, split-screens, hand-drawn animation, leaps between black & white and colour film, jarring sequences of gore, and even a song to save the earth. You’ll either love it or hate it… you already know where we stand.” (Token Homo)
