The films of Ryusuke Hamaguchi unspool with elegant everyday ease and yet anything can happen. Lives take sudden detours. Seemingly minor characters become primary ones. People are brought together by mysterious connections. There are even, as in the case of his “Asako I & II,” doppelgangers.
This image released by Sideshow and Janus Films shows Ryo Nishikawa in a scene from “Evil Does Not Exist.”
The first images of “Evil Does Not Exist” are looking upward at tree branches against the sky while we move slowly through the forest. It’s a sign of what’s to come in a movie that asks plenty of questions about how we interact with nature, and Hamaguchi holds the shot several times longer than most filmmakers would.
But something ominous is tugging at “Evil Does Not Exist” despite the assertive certainty of that title. The score, by Eiko Ishibashi, is mournful. The father and daughter come across a dead fawn in the forest. A gunshot is heard from nearby hunters. Later, blood drips from a small branch. It’s maybe not a coincidence that the film’s opening images of trees are followed by a lengthy scene of wood chopping.
