After his surprise 2021 arthouse hit, and Oscar nominee, Drive My Car, ‎Ryusuke Hamaguchi returns with his beguiling new film, Evil Does Not Exist. The film follows two consultants who visit a rural Japanese village where they hope to build a luxury campground. After being rebuffed by the protective locals, the consultants begin to ingratiate themselves with the town and fall under the spell of the pace of country life. Evil Does Not Exist is a complex and truly surprising reflection of gentrification and our own untameable natures.
