“Shall We Dance? combines the best elements of old-fashioned ‘gotta dance’ romance with the courage it takes to overcome strict behavioral boundaries, both self-imposed and societal.” —Ann Hornaday, Austin American-Statesman
Shohei Sugiyama (Koji Yakusho) seems to have it all: a high-paying job as an accountant, a beautiful home, a caring wife, and a doting daughter he loves dearly. However, he feels something is missing in his life. One day while commuting on the train, he spots a beautiful woman (Tamiyo Kusakari) staring wistfully out a window and eventually decides to find her. His search leads him head-first into the world of competitive ballroom dancing. This 4K restoration of the classic 1996 film is available uncut for the first time in North America.
