“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.”
—Austin American-Statesman

Shohei Sugiyama (PERFECT DAYS star Kōji Yakusho) seems to have it all: a devoted wife, a loving daughter, and a picture-perfect life. But a fleeting glimpse of a beautiful woman inspires the overworked accountant to risk everything for his newfound passion — dance. A toe-tapping comedy that “will sweep you off your feet” (Austin Chronicle) from director Masayuki Suo. Presented in a stunning 4K restoration, the original 136-minute film is available uncut for the first time in North America.
