We’ve all seen couples like Gota and Chika Yanagida — some of us may even be in one. In writer-director Shin Adachi’s “A Beloved Wife,” the Yanagidas bicker constantly, turning their near-constant …

Are they really so unhappy, or is this all some kind of routine, a combative sort of foreplay before a marathon bout of make-up sex?
Like those writers, Adachi has a gift for gentle caricature, drawing details from his own experience and exaggerating them for comic effect, such that we find ourselves wincing with recognition — when not laughing outright, that is. In interviews with the Japanese press, Adachi has been cagey about just how closely he based this hapless character on himself .
“You always let me down,” she carps, clearly tired of being the responsible one while her lazy husband indulges his fruitless fantasies. She must have believed in him at some point, but now that they have a daughter, Aki , Gota still refuses to grow up, leaving her to make a living, cook, and do most of the chores.
Today, Adachi is recognized as the talented writer behind 2014’s indie hit “100 Yen Love,” but like his insecure protagonist, he suffered through a long period when no one seemed interested in producing any of his scripts. Years later, he channeled the frustration of those days into a comedic novel, which serves as the basis of this movie , a tongue-in-cheek homage to his biggest champion, who also happened to be his toughest critic: his wife.
