2009年是日本文学名家太宰治诞辰100周年，这年里众多日本文学被改编成电影。集英社借着这股文学热潮，邀请漫画家小畑健重新绘制太宰治的名作《人间失格》，制作了四集同名TVA，在系列动画《青之文学》中与观众见面。《人间失格》是太宰治的自传体小说，“人间失格”即丧失为人的资格，作品讲述了主人公叶藏胆小羞怯，对人类和情感的恐惧导致他终其一生都在寻求爱以及逃避爱，最终成为边缘化人物，给自己烙下“人间失格”印记的故事。而为了纪念太宰治诞生100周年，集英社更是以四话TVA为基础，在重新编辑之后以剧场版《人间失格 Directr’s Cut版》之名搬上大银幕。剧场版《人间失格》的主要制作班底与声优人选依然维持TVA的原班人马，担任主要声优的是日本实力派演员堺雅人。

Canadian surgeon Dr. Norman Bethune (Donald Sutherland) journeys 1,500 miles into China to reach Mao Zedong's eighth route Army in the Wu Tai mountains where he will build hospitals, provide care, and train medics. Flashbacks narrate the earlier events of his life: a bout with tuberculosis at the Trudeau sanatorium; the self-administration of an experimental pneumothorax; the invention of operative instruments; his fascination with Socialism; a journey into medical Russia; and the founding of a mobile plasma-transfusion unit in war-torn Spain. Bethune twice married and twice divorced his wife Frances (Dame Helen Mirren), who chooses abortion over child-rearing in her unstable marriage. By 1939, Bethune had been dismissed from his Montreal Hospital for taking unconventional risks, and from his volunteer position in Spain for his chronic problems of drinking and womanizing. As his friend states: "China was all that was left." Even there, Bethune confidently ignores the advice of Chinese officials until heavy casualties make him realize his mistake and lead him to a spectacular apology.
