Laplace's Witch is a Japanese mystery-thriller film directed by Takashi Miike and based on a novel by Keigo Higashino. The movie follows environmental analyst Shusuke Aoe as he investigates two deaths caused by hydrogen sulfide poisoning. Aoe is approached by the police to determine whether the deaths are accidental or if foul play was involved.
As Aoe begins his investigation, he meets a young woman named Madoka Uhara at both death sites. Madoka is a mysterious and enigmatic figure who seems to have a strange connection to the deaths. Aoe is fascinated by Madoka and begins to suspect that she may be involved in the deaths.
As Aoe delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a scientific mystery that defies explanation. He discovers that the deaths may be linked to Laplace's Demon - a theoretical concept in physics that suggests a superintelligence could predict the entire future of the universe if it knew the exact state of every particle.
Aoe's obsession with Madoka and the Laplace's Demon theory leads him down a dangerous path, and he begins to question his own sanity. As the investigation unfolds, Aoe finds himself drawn into a web of deceit, betrayal, and murder that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.
Laplace's Witch is a gripping mystery-thriller that combines cutting-edge science with pulse-pounding action and suspense. The movie is a must-see for fans of mind-bending thrillers and anyone who loves a good mystery.
