Ryusuke Hamaguchi Unveils 'Gift,' an Innovative Live Score Film Experience

In a bold fusion of cinema and live music, 'Gift' reimagines the narrative of 'Evil Does Not Exist' through its composer's live performance, offering a unique cinematic experience.

'Gift' features a live score by Eiko Ishibashi, performed in person at screenings, enhancing the film's atmospheric narrative.
The film uses the same visuals as 'Evil Does Not Exist' but presents them in a new context, emphasizing music over dialogue.
This innovative approach could redefine the traditional director's cut, highlighting the composer's role in storytelling.
The live element of 'Gift' ensures each performance is unique, reflecting slight variations in Eiko's musical interpretation.
'Gift' and 'Evil Does Not Exist' share thematic and visual elements, but 'Gift' focuses more on emotional resonance than clear narrative structure.
