An “infinitely touching” (The Washington Post) modern classic from director Masayuki Suo, “Shall We Dance?” is a feel-good romantic comedy that “will sweep you off your feet” (The Austin Chronicle).

A box-office sensation in North America upon its initial release, Film Movement Classics presents “Shall We Dance?” in a new 4K restoration of the original film, available uncut for the first time in North America.

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 implausibly charming comedy.” — The New Yorker

“Like the breathtaking number from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical ‘The King and I’, from which the film takes both its title and inspiration, ‘Shall We Dance?’ will sweep you off your feet.” — Austin Chronicle

“Shall We Dance?” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on Thursday, June 12 at 3:30 and 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona.
