Japanese director Ryûsuke Hamaguchi found international acclaim with Drive My Car. His follow-up is, at first, a simpler movie. But a last act twist takes it to a darker, more sophisticated place.
There’s an old episode of the podcast Reply All I think about all the time called “Negative Mount Pleasant” — a title that reveals nothing about what it’s about. Also, the first eight minutes of the episode aren’t super instructive either. It opens with tape from a village meeting, where the community of Mount Pleasant is accosting their representative about a mysterious new development that is happening in their backyard. This isn’t exactly how Evil Does Not Exist starts.
Then, there’s “Loose Hamaguchi,” like the vignettes of Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy, the five-hour domestic epic Happy Hour, or the Cassavetes-inflected Passion. Evil Does Not Exist is the first that feels like something in between his two styles. It has the polish and patience of a Tight Hamaguchi but also the subtle motions of a Loose Hamaguchi. Considering its dramatic title , this is a remarkably quiet movie.
