Takumi e a sua filha Hana vivem numa aldeia perto de Tóquio de forma modesta e em harmonia com os ciclos da natureza. Mas um projecto de construção de um parque de glamping – campismo de luxo – ameaça desestabilizar a comunidade, interferindo no abastecimento de água e desequilibrando profundamente a vida de quem aí habita. Uma alegoria sobre o preço que pagamos por desrespeitar a natureza, O Mal não Está Aqui transmite uma mensagem familiar, mas cujo impacto é aqui tremendo. À linguagem visual arrebatadora do cineasta associa-se a banda sonora irresistivelmente bela de Eiko Ishibashi, que trabalhara com Hamaguchi no oscarizado Drive My Car, num filme que foi recebido com uma ovação em pé de oito minutos no Festival de Veneza, e que valeu a Hamaguchi o Grande Prémio do Júri, ao que se seguiram outros prémios em vários festivais, o que faz dele uma das estreias mais aguardadas do ano.

A Japanese company wants to build a glamping centre in the countryside and the old-timers should just nod in agreement, because what more could you want than an influx of capital and Tokyo tourists. Wrong. The locals hold their own values, which are hard to grasp for city folk who have never touched an axe in their lives. Meanwhile, the corporate negotiators are no capitalist thieves (compared to, say, Europa), they just live, and even grew up, in a world far removed from that of the village. The cards are therefore dealt very promisingly, and Hamaguchi is not afraid to add his unique imprint to the mix. Normally I'm not a fan of long, wannabe artistic static shots, but here the thoughtful dosage of pacing and editing is crucial to portraying the contrast between the city and the countryside. Similarly, many of the lengthy passages from the opening only begin to take on significance as the film progresses. Indeed, as an actor here you really have to feel both the people and the natural elements. The whole thing creates an almost magical genius loci, where you're not sure if the locals' respect for nature is a bit irrational, or if it's justified and there's a punishment for not respecting it. By the end of the film, you'll have to find your own answer, but being there is definitely fascinating.
