Director : David Zellner
Running Time : 105 mins
A young Japanese woman, unhappy with her life, discovers a VHS copy of the movie Fargo and comes to the conclusion that the bag of money buried in the movie is real and still buried in the USA. With her bosses company credit card she embarks on a journey from Japan to America in search of the treasure in the frozen wastes of Minnesota.
This slow paced drama succeeds by having the same level of dry humour as the movie it discusses. The story might not be that exciting, but it is interesting to watch how Kumiko’s obsession with the film Fargo and her belief that the story is real leads her to ruin her life and travel across the world in search of a fictional treasure. Plus the ending will have people discussing what actually happened to her character and whether or not she did survive as the ending implies, considering what happened to her in real life...
