太宰治與蜷川實花的組合，一字記之曰：色。蜷川並不服膺於太宰治半自傳小說《人間失格》的隔靴搔癢，借書之名直接拍他本人和三個女人的故事。太宰治的妻子美知子、有志成為作家的情人靜子和他最後一位情人富榮，分別由演技派女優宮澤理惠、澤尻英龍華和二階堂富美飾演，襯托著蜷川分別為三女精心設計的主題色調，色彩濃烈絢麗的畫面是一場流動的視覺盛宴。為了對抗生命的無力感，太宰治沉溺於女人與酒精，在靡爛晦暗的生活中追逐死亡之光。在蜷川的鏡頭下，他既是才子，亦是賤男，他的不堪，反而折射出人間的脆弱和美好。

Japanese readers have long been fascinated with the works of Dazai Osamu, the self-destructive author whose vices and infidelities are almost as well-known as his works. For her fourth feature film, iconic Japanese photographer Ninagawa Mika examines the final years in the life of the author through the eyes of three women who loved him – his long-suffering wife, the mistress who inspired his 1946 novel “Setting Sun”, and the mistress whom he would ultimately commit suicide with. Featuring top-notch performances from a star-studded cast and stunning images bursting with colors, this is an unconventional biopic of an unconventional literary figure.
