Would You Like To Dance? 1996

Directed by Masanori Kudo

Lights flare up at the back of the stage, revealing the beautiful silhouette of Maria Takaoka, the club's number-one dancer. Known as "Naked Maria," she commands the undivided attention of every man in the room—yet beneath the surface, she leads a chaotic life consumed by alcohol and drugs. One day, she meets a police officer named Nakajima and begins to harbor feelings of love for him. Although Nakajima is also drawn to Maria, he struggles to be open about his emotions; meanwhile, a sinister threat looms, poised to tear the two of them apart.
