SUMMARY:Weston Film Club at the WPL - Shall We Dance
DESCRIPTION:TRAVELS &amp\; TRAVAILS\nShall We Dance\n1996\, 136
 minutes\n\nInscribed in the ballroom of Blackpool Tower is Shakespeare’s
 line\, “Bid me discourse\, I will enchant thine ear.” So begins this
 film\, reminding the viewer that\, unlike in England\, ballroom dancing is
 considered a suspect pastime in Japan. Perhaps it is the ostentation that
 chafes in a culture that values modesty so greatly\, as public expressions
 of personal joy can often be read as unseemly.\n\nIn the film\, Koji
 Yakusho plays Mr. Sujiyama\, a white-collar office worker who is the model
 of respectability. He is ever-loyal to his company and his family\, and his
 life is a comfortable\, if predictable routine. But one night on his way
 back from work to his home in the suburbs\, he glimpses from his train a
 woman lingering wistfully in the window of a dance studio. Curious\, but
 also very hesitant\, Mr. Sujiyama visits and then enrolls in a dance
 course\, all the while not sure why he is doing so. But soon the urge to
 dance finds its way deep under his skin\, forcing Mr. Sujiyama to reconcile
 his newfound secret with his office and family. What follows is a gentle
 comedy of manners about constrained passions and stifling
 expectations.\n\nPlease Note--This film is RATED PG\, with waltzes\,
 fox-trots\, and a very sweet mid-life crisis.
