Annyeong Yumika
Don't get it twisted: Yumika Hayashi is way more than just a porn star. She's a Rorschach test, film theory with curves, her screen image throwing off endless refractions within the hearts of those who knew her, loved her, or just got off to her. The "iron woman" of Japanese erotic film, best known for critically-acclaimed pink eiga LUNCHBOX, Hayashi died in 2005 at age 35, but in ANNYONG YUMIKA, the new documentary by Tetsuaki Matsue (LIVE TAPE), Yumika's legend is reborn, her passion made immortal.
