NEW UNCUT 4K RESTORATION

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 staring wistfully out a window and eventually decides to find her. His search leads him head-first
into the world of competitive ballroom dancing.

An “infinitely touching” (Washington Post) modern classic from director
Masayuki Suo, SHALL WE DANCE? is a feel-good romantic comedy that “will sweep you off your feet” (Austin Chronicle). A box office sensation in North America upon its initial release (which led to a Hollywood remake with Richard Gere), Film Movement Classics presents SHALL WE DANCE? in a new 4K restoration of the original 137-minute film, available uncut for the first time in North America.

“SHALL WE DANCE? will sweep you off your feet.” – Steve Davis, Austin Chronicle
