Director Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s film is one for the ages
Evil Does Not Exist takes its time. At the beginning there’s foreboding music on the soundtrack as the camera moves across nature and vegetation. Then a character appears out of nowhere, startling the audience. Almost half an hour passes before a character even speaks. In that dichotomy of patience and alarm lies the genius of Ryusuke Hamaguchi ’s follow-up to the Oscar-winning Drive My Car.
The outsiders seem unaware of their motivations and guileless to their ramifications, the righteous seem passive and unyielding. The screenplay may draw lines but the moral mystery remains murky, making each move by either party absolutely fascinating. Even something as innocuous as an invitation to lunch or an outdoors walk comes with much more ethical weight. The story is told in long scenes full of detail.
