Yongary, Monster from the Deep
Taekoesu Yonggary / South Korea / Japan / 1967

Yongary, Monster from the Deep may be a self-conscious Godzilla knock-off, but it still finds room for such unexpected pleasures as Yongary, after being exposed to an itch-inducing ray, bursting into a dance routine set to surf music. Such scenes raise questions as to how much freedom does a genre have, and whether its conventions constrict the narrative or offer more avenues for exploration and experiment?
