Villon's Wife

Villon's Wife (2009)

Movie •6.5 •1h 54m •All Ages
DramaRomance

Not available for streaming in your region.

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
