The Love Of Cinema

Evil Does Not Exist with Ryusuke Hamaguchi and Eiko Ishibashi | Picturehouse

Hosted by Picturehouse’s very own Sam Clements, The Love Of Cinema podcast is proudly supported by Kia. On this mini episode, Sam talks to director Ryusuke Hamaguchi and composer Eiko Ishibashi about their new film, Evil Does Not Exist, in cinemas now! 

Takumi and his daughter Hana live in Mizubiki Village, close to Tokyo.

Like generations before them, they live a modest life according to the cycles and order of nature.

One day, the village inhabitants become aware of a plan to build a glamping site near Takumi’s house; offering city residents a comfortable ‘escape’ to nature. When two company representatives from Tokyo arrive in the village to hold a meeting, it becomes clear that the project will have a negative impact on the local water supply, causing unrest.

The agency’s mismatched intentions endanger both the ecological balance of the nature plateau and their way of life, with an aftermath that affects Takumi’s life deeply.

From the director of Oscar® and BAFTA winner Drive My Car.

‘'Inspiring and joyful, a love letter to the humble bicycle and all who ride one.” 

James Spender, Cyclist Magazine

Jeremy Vine, broadcaster and cycling champion

Copa 71 with Rachel Ramsay and James Erskine | Picturehouse

Felicity Beckett speaks to directors Rachel Ramsay and James Erskine about Copa 71, in cinemas from 8 March.  

It is August 1971. Football teams from England, Argentina, Mexico, France, Denmark and Italy are gathering at Mexico City’s sun-drenched Azteca Stadium. The scale of the tournament is monumental: lavish sponsorship, extensive TV coverage, merchandise on every street corner and crowds of over 100,000 hollering fans turn this historic stadium into ‘a cauldron of noise and heat’ match after match. A fawning media treat the players like rock stars. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the greatest moments in international footballing history.

But this is a tournament unlike anything that’s happened before. The players on the pitch are all women. And it’s likely you’ve never even heard of it. This is Copa 71, the unofficial Women’s World Cup. Dismissed by both FIFA and domestic football associations around the world, this event has been entirely written out of history. Until now.
