Masayuki Suô’s beloved romantic comedy “Shall We Dance?” is finally getting a proper U.S. release.

His search leads him head-first into the world of competitive ballroom dancing.”

Tamiyo Kusakari, Naoto Takenaka, Eri Watanabe, Yû Tokui, Hiromasa Taguchi, Reiko Kusamura, and Hideko Hara also star.
