One of the hits of last year's Sundance Film Festival, Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter finally arrives in theaters this week. Supposedly based on a true story, the film relates the strange tale of a Japanese woman (Rinko Kikuchi) who travels to America convinced that Fargo was nonfiction, hoping to locate the money Steve Buscemi's character buried in a field by the highway. Kumiko doesn't always work, but it's distinctly the vision of its filmmakers, David and Nathan Zellner. I reviewed the curiosity for Paste.
