High schooler Josuke takes a stand for love and justice
The sleepy town of Morioh, Japan, is home to Josuke Higashikata, a high school student who possesses the supernatural ability to conjure a being known as a “Stand”. It turns out he’s not the only one, as a mystical arrow has been traveling through the town, bringing out the latent Stand abilities in everyone it encounters. When Josuke and his family becomes targets of a Stand-wielding criminal, Josuke teams up with a band of whacky Stand users to protect the ones he loves.
Helmed by famed cult film director Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer), Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable is the first ever live-action film adaptation of cult manga classic Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure by Hirohiko Araki. As an adaptation of one of the most popular stories in the long-running series, this film is a great introduction to the stylish, wild world of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.
