SUMMARY: Free Japanese Film Screening\: Villon's Wife
LOCATION:Bloor HotDocs Cinema
URL:http://www.blogto.com/events/66459
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:An all-star cast enacts a story distilled from seven of Dazai Osamu=E2=80=
=99s works, in a literary drama released on the 100th anniversary of the bi=
rth of the novelist. The relationship between a hard-drinking, promiscuous =
writer and his beautiful, upstanding, and devoted wife brings the various f=
orms of love between men and women into relief. Director Negishi Kishitaro =
(Dog in a Sidecar) skillfully depicts the energy of people living in the ch=
aos of the early postwar period. He won the best director award at the 33rd=
 Montreal World Film Festival for this film.

While raising a young son, Sachi (Matsu Takako), the wife of the popular wr=
iter Otani (Asano Tadanobu), struggles to contain the damage wrought by her=
 profligate husband. To pay off his debts, she starts working at a pub, whe=
re she wins the favor of Okada (Tsumabuki Satoshi), a young fan of Otani=E2=
=80=99s, and the lawyer Tsuji (Tsutsumi Shinichi), who she had a crush on i=
n the past. But Otani surges with jealousy at the sight of the newly confid=
ent and popular Sachi.
