Rome Int’l Film Festival 2010 Extra section. Busan Int’l Film Festival 2011

Since the dawn of adult videos (AV) in the early 1980s, director Tadashi Yoyogi, AKA “Yoyochu” became a prolific creator of pornographic films that were as popular as they were controversial. Today he is considered a great master in the world of adult videos and is often referred to as the Father of AV.  Even now, at the age of 72 he continues to create adult videos.

This documentary introduces his life with its many twists and turns along with a universal theme that is hidden in his works.

Fascinating, detailed study of a veteran AV director-producer... Asian and genre events, plus niche TV. -------Derek Elley /Fiim Business Asia
