  1. I’m currently watching a truckload of Korean films, but was able to include a Japanese one for Japanuary, Evil Does Not Exist. Director Ryūsuke Hamaguchi is more interested in the moment than the big picture and takes his time with each scene. There is little cutting, and the camera is allowed to have gentle tracking shots and pans, and sometimes it just stays still in one frame. It’s wonderful. I have to see more of Hamaguchi’s films.

  5. Big fan of #RyusukeHamaguchi's films, having loved all that I've seen. Finally saw #EvilDoesNotExist and it didn't disappoint. A totally unexpected, Ibseneque ending that adds layers of depth to the film's title, and an amazing, extended neo-realist central scene set at a community town hall meeting. youtu.be/zVY4lWfrbME?si=n8sfdi

  8. Evil Does Not Exist (悪は存在しない, a very literal translation for once) is quite stunning.

    Written and directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi, who won an Oscar for Drive My Car, his recent adaption of a Haruki Murakami short story, it's for the most part a story of capitalism vs conservation (a company from Tokyo wanting to build a glamping resort in the countryside outside the city), but what for most of the film is a quite genuine and almost hopeful and quite literal exploration of these conflicting interests, turns in the last 15 minutes or so into something entirely different and much much darker.

    It's been a while since the ending of a film has made that much of an impression on me. It's incongruous for sure, and I can imagine not everyone likes it, but also very powerful and quite devastating in a very symbolic kind of way.
