Overview

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

00:04:39 Or we'll call the police.

00:07:43 I believe your husband is 30, is he not?

00:12:52 You can see why I'm fed up.

00:17:57 Let me help you out here until the money comes.

00:21:08 Here you go.

00:24:03 I know that.

00:30:05 You don't remember that, either?

00:34:07 Oh.

00:37:16 They feed me liquor so they can profit off me.

00:40:04 This is Mr Otani's wife, Sachi.

00:46:17 With that lawyer?

00:48:48 ...because she didn't want me involved.

00:52:35 He lives out this way. He's nice enough to come with me.

00:56:03 Hot?

01:00:55 Yes.

01:04:33 She's got this pliancy to her...

01:09:33 Otani was keeping watch on us.

01:17:04 OK?

01:24:11 So he's alive...
