Plots(1)
Osamu Dazai (Shun Oguri) is considered one of the greatest authors of the post-war period. Nevertheless, his life was more than stormy and his addiction to alcohol and women is widely documented. At the time, persistent rumours were already tarnishing his reputation. He’s already the father of two children, and his wife Michiko (Rie Miyazawa) is pregnant, but that doesn't stop him from going to the bars that are popular in the literary world, always in search of new mistresses. Running low on inspiration, he meets Shizuko (Erika Sawajiri), an aspiring writer whom he sees as a potential muse. The two indulge in a burning passion, but Osamu is not yet satiated and he sets out to conquer young Tomie (Fumi Nikaido). If she is reluctant at first, she lets herself be seduced by the author. Thus is born a toxic relationship that will have a colossal impact on their future. (Fantasia International Film Festival)
