Friday Night Weird: Brush of the God

TICKETS

Aug 15

For decades master model-maker and effects artisan Keizo Murase has crafted memorable monster costumes for the GODZILLA, GAMERA,

DAIMAJIN, KAMEN RIDER and ULTRAMAN franchises. At the age of 88, Murase has completed his first feature film as a director, and it’s truly something special. The kaiju scenes are of course a joy, but more than it is a generously self-referential rolic, a venerable master’s reflection on his extensive legacy. In this movie a boy comes across a rabbit, guardian of a magical brush to prevent the Yamata no Orochi from re-emerging in the modern world. (Keizô Murase, 2024, Japan, 1:14, NR)
