    Evil Does Not Exist is the latest film from the award-winning director of Drive My Car, Ryusuke Hamaguchi.
    Takumi (played by Hitoshi Omika) and his daughter Hana (Ryô Nishikawa) live in Mizubiki Village, close to Tokyo. One day, the village inhabitants become aware of a plan to build a camping site near Takumi's house, offering city residents a comfortable "escape" to nature.

    I enjoyed it very much (though not quite as much as Drive My Car and not half as much as Perfect Days) , and even though I just don’t get the ending , I do love a film that makes me think about it long after!! I will definitely check out your article!!

      Thank you so much! Perfect Days is also my favourite of the three.

    Incredible ending. The main character resembles the deer. He is hurt, and there is a hidden backstory of the wife he lost. The deer only becomes aggressive when shot, who otherwise coexist peacefully. When he chokes the guy in the end, he is doing whatever he needs to protect his home from the outsiders. It shook me.

      Somewhat similar to my interpretation!

    Well, all I got after watching it is that, I think it's not a good idea to let an eight-year-old little girl to wander around in the woods alone. It's freaking dangerous.

      That's the strongest impression I got. Nature can be cruel and never picky/take side.
      The second strongest impression is from the meeting with the resident.
      And yeah, maybe it's literal interpretation. I never interpret movie before, or know how to do it. This the first time I want to share my impression after watching a movie, because it's still lingering in my mind, even right now.

      Glad to hear that it's still lingering (I love when a film can do that, at least!)

    The ending may seem ambiguous. But what we do know is the girl was harmed by gunshot, disease, or angry mother deer. We know she is a innocent drawn the mother child deer relationship as the girl misses her own missing mother. Another mystery as to why her mother is missing. The caretakers all suffer: the girl, the glamping lady, the father, the community for their environment. The acquisitive interloping glamping man is a poser who prefers paycheck over passion, wants family without sacrifice, like campers who want nature experience without inconvenience or suffering. The father wouldn’t have the poser interfere with his daughter. I hope the father ran in the most direct route to medical care. But based on his footsteps stopping in the snow. I suspect he came to realization it was too late.

    Spoiler
    I believe this film to be a warning.
    We don‘t know if the girl is dead in the movie. But in our real lives we can still safe this child, the new generation.

    Stupid ending which no one can properly explain so it ruins the whole film and probably not worth wading through except for the town hall meeting which was the most interesting of this slow tedious film. As much as we all want to kill council workers for noisy polluted property development most of us have a pre-frontal cortex to hold back our impulses to cut the red tape.

      I personally enjoyed the ending, but it depends what you're looking for. Obviously, a lot of folks would agree with you!

    even though the movie has an extremely slow pace, ironically it was very tiresome figuring out what the director was portraying in the film. Maybe it's just me but I like films that are 'easier'.

      Totally fair! Hamaguchi is definitely not for you (Drive My Car would likely drive you crazy)
