SYNOPSIS

War reduced Japan to zero, and Godzilla plunged it into minus. Two years have passed since then, and the country has faced agonizing struggles to achieve recovery and finally reclaim its daily life.

Just as humanity managed to cling to a hard-won peace, a new threat strikes, crushing hope in an instant.

There is no third time. Everything ends here.

about the director

Takashi Yamazaki

Born in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture in 1964, Takashi Yamazaki is a Japanese filmmaker and visual effects supervisor, counted as one of Japan's leading film directors. Most recently Yamazaki wrote, directed and led the visual effects team responsible for the groundbreaking global hit “Godzilla Minus One” for which he is the first director since Stanley Kubrick to win an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. “Godzilla MInus One” is currently the 3rd highest grossing live action foreign language film in US box office history making over $57 million dollars. The film also won 8 Japan Academy Prizes including the prizes for Best Picture, Best Screenplay and Best Visual Effects, becoming the most-awarded film at the 47th annual awards.

Yamazaki credits childhood viewings of "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" with influencing his pursuit of a career in special effects. After graduating from Asagaya College of Art and Design, he joined VFX house Shirogumi Inc. in 1986 working on SFX and digital compositing in films directed by Juzo Itami, such as "The Last Dance" (1993) and "A Quiet Life" (1995). He made his debut as a film director in 2000 with "Juvenile" and became a leading figure in visual expression and VFX using computer graphics in Japan.

"Always: Sunset on Third Street" (2005), using VFX to depict the streets of Tokyo in the late 1950s, won 12 awards, including Best Picture and Best Director at the 29th Japan Academy Film Prize. His films " The Eternal Zero"(2013) and " Stand by Me Doraemon "(2014) won Best Picture and 8 other awards at the 38th Japan Academy Film Prize, as well as the Best Animation Film in the same year.
