Shohei Sugiyama (Koji Yakusho) has a high-paying job, an exquisite home, and a caring wife and 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 headfirst into the world of competitive ballroom dancing. An “infinitely touching” (The Washington Post) box-office sensation upon its initial release, Shall We Dance? is presented in a new 4K restoration of the original film, available uncut for the first time in North America.
