You probably already know what the movie's about, but just in case... Here's the plot: "Bruce Baillies Mr Hayashi might be thought of as a putative East Coast story transformed by a West Coast sensibility The narrative slight as it is mounts a social critique of sorts involving the difficulty the title character a Japanese gardener has finding work that pays adequately But the beauty of Baillies blackandwhite photography the misty lusciousness of the landscapes he chooses to photograph and the powerful silence of Mr Hayashis figure within them make the viewer forget all about economics and ethnicity The shots remind us of Sung scrolls of fields and mountain peaks where the human figure is dwarfed in the middle distance Rather than a study of unemployment the film becomes a study of nested layers of stillness and serenity" .
