Found how he must keep his passion for dancing a secret amusing. Almost like it was a taboo mistress.

When it's about the dancing and the people who dance it's rather enjoyable film with a wry sense of humour and time passes pretty quickly. Thankfully this is most of the film. There are some melodramatic aspects scattered throughout that felt tedious and tacked on, and those dragged things down a bit.

Rather resembles one of those martial arts "training flicks" where the hero spends the whole movie practising and practicing, finally achieving his goal in the last scene. Achieves a very particularly Japanese warmth and purity of tone.

One of the characters in the film stated that she fell in love with dancing the moment she saw Yul Brenner in The King and I (a song from which the movie derives its title), and I would guess that Suo's rich study in the art of dance will be the inspiration for countless more.

Watch this one instead of the terrible Richard Gere-remake. In this Japanese cultural setting, the whole dance-thing actually makes sense.

Many of the same faces from the other funny film by Masayuki Suo, Shiko Funjatta. It's just one of those films that look so enjoyable to be an actor in; an engaging story, beautiful character development, it's got everything.
