Evil Does Not Exist, the new film by multi-award-winning Japanese filmmaker Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, is an ode to nature in a world that only seeks to make an economic profit. On this occasion, the contemplative camera of the Oscar-winning director of Drive My Car enters a town near Tokyo whose inhabitants are debating the proposal for a glamping project (luxury camping) in an area surrounded by forests and tranquility.
They are concerned about where the septic tank will be placed and the impact the business will have on the site. The story develops slowly with the leading role of Takumi, the town’s handyman, and the two project employees, who will try to gain his trust. However, when Takumi’s daughter disappears, the story takes a most unexpected turn. Organic and hypnotic cinema that Hamaguchi serves on a platter.
