Villon's Wife

Original Title: ヴィヨンの妻〜桜桃とタンポポ〜

Release: 2009 | Community Score: 66%

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.
