Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Evil Does Not Exist gets a trailer and poster

March 27, 2024 by Amie Cranswick

Janus Films has released a poster and trailer for writer-director Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s (Drive My Car) upcoming drama Evil Does Not Exist.

The film follows Takumi and his daughter Hana, as the townsfolk of their small rural hamlet discover that there is plans to build an opulent glamping site nearby, leading to tensions rising when two company representatives arrive asking for local guidance. Watch the trailer below…

In the rural alpine hamlet of Mizubiki, not far from Tokyo, Takumi and his daughter, Hana, lead a modest life gathering water, wood, and wild wasabi for the local udon restaurant. Increasingly, the townsfolk become aware of a talent agency’s plan to build an opulent glamping site nearby, offering city residents a comfortable “escape” to the snowy wilderness. When two company representatives arrive and ask for local guidance, Takumi becomes conflicted in his involvement, as it becomes clear that the project will have a pernicious impact on the community. Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s follow up to his Academy Award®-winning DRIVE MY CAR is a foreboding fable on humanity’s mysterious, mystical relationship with nature. As sinister gunshots echo from the forest, both the locals and representatives confront their life choices and the haunting consequences they have.

The cast includes Hitoshi Omika, Ryo Nishikawa, Ryuji Kosaka, and Ayaka Shibutani.
