Suo Duo: Two Films by Masayuki Suo

In order to claim his inheritance, punk rocker and Buddhist monk's son Yohei (Masahiro Motoki) had to become a novitiate himself. While surprisingly adapting well to the monastery, will he be able to stay the course when his impatient girl (Honami Suzuki) tells him it's the robe or her? Masayuki Suo's debut feature,"Fancy Dance" (1989), co-stars Ken Ohsawa, Hikomaro. Then, when lazy collegian Shuhei (Motoki) is a few credits shy of graduation, his professor (Akira Emoto) will overlook it-so long as he joins and reinvigorates the school's moribund sumo club. Suo's "Sumo Do, Sumo Don't" (1992) RUNTIME: 3 1/2 hrs.
