Evil Does Not Exist
Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s follow-up to Drive My Car is a hauntingly enigmatic eco-thriller. Winner of Best Film at the BFI London Film Festival.
Director: Ryusuke Hamaguchi
Overview
In a small, rustic and idyllic Japanese village lives a tight community, deeply connected to their land. However, their peace is threatened when a Tokyo talent company buys up some property nearby, intending to turn it into a tourist spot. A fascinating and unpredictable eco-drama-cum-mystery, Ryusuke Hamaguchi (Drive My Car) blends dark comedy with the most beautiful, eerie and hypnotic camera work to create a sublime and haunting film.
