Toho Studios followed the success of the original GODZILLA with this sequel. The film introduces the monster-versus-monster format that would dominate the remainder of the series, pitting Godzilla against the ferocious, spiny Anguirus as the kaiju wreak havoc in the streets of Osaka in a series of elaborate set pieces that succeed in upping the ante for destruction.

Billed as a “coming-of-old-age” story, filmmaker Sarah Friedland’s poignant feature debut considers the fears and desires of those who are often relegated to the periphery in cinema and society. Ruth (Kathleen Chalfant), an aging widow and retired cook, suffers from dementia. No longer able to recognize her loved ones, she is checked into an assisted living facility by her conflicted son (H. Jon Benjamin), and thus begins a rocky, uncertain transition into the next chapter of her twilight years.
