Film Movement Classics is bringing a brand new 4K restoration of Masayuki’s Suo 1996 charmer Shall We Dance? to The Frida Cinema!
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.
A box office sensation in North America upon its initial release (which led to a Hollywood remake with Richard Gere), Film Movement Classics is presenting the original 137-minute film, available uncut for the first time in North America.
