We’re hurled into the atmosphere with a great tracking shot down the club’s sidewalk and into a concert where teens and 20-somethings are moshing so hard that the camera gets knocked down and stumbles back to its feet.

And he’s turning himself on as he does it, embracing whatever gets him excited to shoot a scene, from the energetic nightclub tracking shot that opens the film to pizzicato close-ups of Blanchett and Fassbender’s eyeballs that feel like his own Sergio Leone kink.

A long opening tracking shot following Daniel around the production does give a good sense of what it takes to make a movie, but the film being made is so patently awful and threadbare — several orders of magnitude worse than the worst real-world superhero film — that “The Franchise” doesn’t really register either as satire or parody.

“Evil Does Not Exist” is quite the title to ponder as Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s great new film opens on a serene tracking shot through a wintry forest, accompanied by an Eiko Ishibashi score that is both subdued and foreboding.
