Godzilla Minus One
A kamikaze pilot who landed at an island airstrip rather than fly his mission comes home to a burnt-out Tokyo where his parents are dead and the neighbours know what he did not do, and takes dangerous work clearing wartime mines from the sea. The creature the mechanics on that airstrip warned him about surfaces again off the coast, far larger, in a country left with no army to meet it. Yamazaki returned the series to the ruined-postwar register of Honda's original after decades of spectacle, and took the visual effects Oscar on a fraction of a Hollywood budget.
