Shall We Dance? ★★★ Shall We Dansu? 1996

As much commentary on controlled Japanese society as a spirited discovery of learning to live and dance. Welldrawn, quirky characters and good humor amid the observant social commentary should put this one at the top of the anyone's foreign film dance card. In Japanese with subtitles. 118m/C VHS, DVD .
