“Compositional quirks and unhurried direction turn this tale of a Tokyo company buying up land near a pristine lake into a complex and mysterious drama.” Peter Bradshaw, Guardian Film Review.
Evil Does Not Exist is a quietly gripping drama that blends dry humour with simmering tension. Set in a rural community facing an unexpected threat, the film follows a widowed father and his young daugther as outside forces disrupt their fragile balance. With sharp observations and moments of subtle wit, the story unfolds with patience and purpose. Thoughtful, unsettling and darkly funny, Evil Does Not Exist explores responsibilty, harmony and what happens when progress comes at a cost.
Evil Does Not Exist is directed by acclaimed Japanese director Ryusuke Hamaguchi, who won the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film for his 2021 film, Drive My Car. The trailer for Evil Does Not Exist can be watched here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MbyqVAN3_M
