From the production team behind the Oscar®
winning SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN comes WE ARE X, 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, 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 breathtaking
reunion concert at New York’s legendary Madison Square Garden. WE ARE X
is an astonishingly intimate portrait of a deeply haunted – but truly
unstoppable – virtuoso and the music that has enthralled legions of the
world’s most devoted fans.
