Evil Does Not Exist(AC)
Director HAMAGUCHI Ryusuke’s highly-anticipated follow up to the Oscar-winning Drive My Car originally began as a video companion to composer ISHIBASHI Eiko’s live performance. The meditative drama follows a rural town whose peaceful existence is about to be disrupted by a developer that plans to build a “glamping” site in the town, even though the site will do irreparable ecological damage to the town. HAMAGUCHI’s quietly riveting film about the clash between urban and nature offers no easy answers and will make audiences rethink the validity of the film title.
