  Eight Questions for Masayuki Suo, The Director of "Shall We Dance?"
Masayuki Suo: First of all, the keyword of the movie is Blackpool [where the ballroom dancing championships are held].
Suo: The most important thing for me in movie making is to love the characters of the movie, so even though you only have a few seconds with a character, that person has to have his own life.
Suo: In addition to such directors as Kurosawa, Mizoguchi, and Ozu, there were many excellent directors in the past, but for twenty years, it seems that there is a void and there hasn't been many good movies.

 Masayuki Suo's Whole Wide Whirl / Japanese director's `Shall We Dance' has brought audiences to their feet
The lead character, Shohei Sugiyama, played by Koji Yakusho, is a mild-mannered accountant who commutes to Tokyo from the suburbs, lies to his wife and daughter about his hobby and eventually enters a national dance competition where he dazzles with his Fred Astaire moves.
Suo says that ``Strictly Ballroom,'' the Australian comedy that simultaneously spoofed and glamorized ballroom dancing, was largely ignored in Japan.
Intrigued by America, Suo is kicking around an idea for his next film: a chubby Japanese girl who travels through the United States.

 Shall We Dance?
Do you know where Koji Yakusho first met Masayuki Suo, the director of "Shall We Dance?" They met in an elevator a few months before the film started.
But Suo confessed that he had not recognized Yakusho at all, until he was spoken to by Yakusho: he looked like quite an ordinary middle-aged man, and not a film star!
The marvelous thing about director Suo was that he was able to make both the cast and the staff enjoy filming, keeping a relaxed attitude.

Some are saved by Christ, some by rock and roll, but salary man Soyhei is saved by the rumba and the foxtrot.
When Suo began to research ballroom dancing in Japan, he discovered that learning the skill seemed to transform the normally staid, inexpressive salary men.
Suo's film may have been a big hit with Japanese audiences, but the director himself was an even bigger hit with his leading lady Tamiyo Kusakari.

 Shall We Dance
In Masayuki Suo's Shall We Dance, a suppressed middle-aged accountant on his way home from work spots a beautiful woman gazing pensively out of the window of an upper level dance studio.
Determined to get to know her, he gets off the train and enrolls in dancing lessons at the studio but, because of the taboos in Japanese culture against physical touching in public, does not tell his wife.
Though the film is subdued and without a big emotional payoff, Suo's strong direction allows us to identify with the characters and glimpse the possibilities in our own life that are open if we are willing to take a chance.

 Shall We Dance? . Newcity Chicago . 05-18-98
Not quite predictable, deadpan goofy, blissfully naive and genuinely sweet, "Shall We Dance" is a treat.
Masayuki Suo's movie starts with the feel of cliché in motion, heightened only by a sense of being a "Hello Kitty" edition of Jacques Tati, where merely pointing a camera at a cryptic urban wonderland like Tokyo's allows so much to be read into the story.

Set in Tokyo, this Japanese comedy from director Masayuki Suo centers on Shohei Sugiyama an overworked and chronically depressed accountant (played by Koji Yakusho) whose life is changed for the better when signs up for ballroom dancing lessons.
Enlivened by the intoxicating dance moves, Shohei gains the courage to court Mai (Tamiyo Kusakari), a young dancer he has shyly admired for a long time, and even manages to convert his friend--and equally reserved colleague Toyoko (Eriko Watanabe)--to the joyous abandon of the ballroom floor.
