Synopsis

We are X is a transcendent rock & roll story about X Japan, the world’s biggest and most successful band you’ve never heard of…yet. Under the enigmatic direction of drummer, pianist, composer, and producer Yoshiki, X Japan has sold over 30 million singles and albums combined—captivating such a wide range of admirers as Sir George Martin, KISS, Stan Lee, and even the Japanese Emperor—and pioneered a spectacle­ driven style of visual rock, creating a one­ of a­ kind cultural phenomenon. Chronicling the band’s exhilarating, tumultuous and unimaginable history over the past three decades—persevering through personal, physical and spiritual heartache—the film culminates with preparations for their reunion concert at New York’s legendary Madison Square Garden.

The Handmaiden

Several films coming out this week are earning nearly unanimously positive reviews. This includes a few documentaries, but also a couple of narrative films that have a shot at some box office success. Moonlight is clearly aiming to win awards and it might do so. The Handmaiden should help grow Chan-wook Park’s fanbase here. More...
