Villon's Wife

ヴィヨンの妻 〜桜桃とタンポポ〜

Release: 2009-10-10·Runtime: 114m·★ 6.5
DramaRomance

This enticing period melodrama depicts a long-suffering woman's relationship with her brilliant but self-destructive writer husband in postwar Tokyo. Based on a semi-autobiographical 1947 novel by Osamu Dazai, the story centers less on the womanizing, heavy-drinking, suicidal hero than on the wife who loves him. Written by Palm Springs International Film Festival
