A unique and rare screening of one of the works of Japanese cinema of the sixties. A B-movie, which in its time, despite its lousy tricks and simple script, was visited by crowds of people. You will see the predecessors of today's Godzillas and similar monsters. Despite more than fifty years since its release in our cinemas, you will be entertained, although certainly differently than the authors intended.

Comics were not shown in Czechoslovakia even in the enlightened 1960s, but filmmakers were at least allowed to parody them. The audience had a great time, even if they didn't know the original works. A well-written and directed comedy with excellent acting performances, which has not lost its charm even after years.

J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who had a large hand in the development of the atomic bomb, thus helping end World War 2. We see his life from university days all the way to post-WW2, where his fame saw him embroiled in political machinations.
The story of Robert Oppenheimer presented by Christopher Nolan is clearly the film of 2023. Probably no other director can afford to make a biopic on extremely expensive 65mm IMAX analog material. And now finally we in Banská Bystrica will see this magnificent film from 70mm format on the whole large screen. Do not miss this opportunity, even if you have already seen the film.
