‘Evil Does Not Exist’ — or does it?

Japan’s Ryûsuke Hamaguchi has emerged over the past decade as one of the world’s finest working directors, but his movies can be frustratingly hard to encapsulate. They deal in the mysteries of human interaction, the baggage we carry and struggle to cast off, sins both personal and societal. They may not seem like much when you watch them, but they have the grace to linger and haunt. “Evil Does Not Exist” may be his most haunting film yet.
