"Shall we Dansu" was screened on World Movies in December and I still have it on tape somewhere (I hope). I had seen the Hollywood version in Feb 2006 and I think the original is much better. I actually thought I had completed a Blog post for it, but perhaps it was only in my mind's blog! As a big fan of Shoji Yakusho, I was impressed by his portrayal of a repressed and depressed salary man who finds another dimension to life through ballroom dancing.
I've seen a number of asian films over the last month so be prepared for more blog posts soon. Happy viewing!

That plot sounds a bit like a Korean horror film I saw years ago called "Say Yes" - where a vacationing couple are stalked and terrorised by a hitchhiker. Such a tense movie - one of the few films to ever give me nightmares!

I think I saw Linda, Linda, Linda (or maybe it was Swing Girls)at Video Collection near JB Hi Fi in Elizabeth Street. It was an import so they wanted close to $50 for it though.

Have you done any Asian movie catching-up over the summer break? Finally found the Japanese Shall we dance at the dvd shop in the Village Arcade - for $7!! Haven't got around to watching it yet though. Would love to see Linda, Linda but I can't find one with English subtitles.
