The Black and White Version of GODZILLA MINUS ONE Is Coming to Netflix in August

Netflix has announced that the black and white version of Godzilla Minus One will be streaming starting on August 1st!

If you didn’t get a chance to see this version of the film while it was in theaters, it’s worth the watch! This film was so damn good, and I really liked the vibe of the black-and-white version. The full-color version of Godzilla Minus One is also currently streaming on Netflix.

When previously talking about Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color, director Takashi Yamazaki said “Rather than just making it monochrome, it is a cut by cut, I had them make adjustments while making full use of various mattes, as if they were creating a new movie.

“What I was aiming for was a style that looked like it was taken by masters of monochrome photography. We were able to unearth the texture of the skin and the details of the scenery that were hidden in the photographed data.

“Then, a frightening Godzilla, just like the one in the documentary, appeared. By eliminating color, a new sense of reality emerges. Please live and resist further fear at the theater."

The ultimate kaiju is back and badder than ever in the latest installment of the classic Godzilla franchise. Set in the days after the end of World War II, Japan is reeling from the devastation left behind after the war. The emotional toll has brought the country to its lowest point.

The story follows the failed kamikaze pilot Kiochi (Ryunosuke Kamiki) and Noriko (Minami Hamabe), a woman pushed into homelessness, taking care of an abandoned child. During this low point Godzilla marches ashore, pulling Japan even deeper into chaos and devastation.

The film stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando, and Kuranosuke Sasaki, with music by Naoki Sato.
