EVIL DOES NOT EXIST
Dir Ryûsuke Hamaguchi | 2023 | Japan | 106 | Rating TBC | Japanese

Takumi and his daughter Hana live a small village. Like generations before them, they live a modest life according to the cycles and order of nature.

When two company representatives hold a meeting in the village, it becomes clear that the project will damage the local water supply, endangering both the ecological balance of the area and the village’s way of life, with an aftermath that affects Takumi's life deeply.

REVIEWS
"Hamaguchi crafts a gorgeous eco-fable that ends with a mythical mic drop." ★★★★ Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

"I found it rippling around in my mind long after the final, extended shot with its two figures receding into the mist." ★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"Composer Eiko Ishibashi’s tremulous string score dislodges something tender within your chest, like a stone being knocked loose at the mouth of a river." Xuanlin Tham, Little White Lies

"A sad, piercingly beautiful fable, the delicacy and grace of which barely conceal Hamaguchi's mordant purpose." Caspar Salmon, The Daily Beast
