KUMIKO, THE TREASURE HUNTER (2015)

A jaded Japanese woman discovers a hidden copy of Fargo (1996) on VHS, believing it to be a treasure map indicating the location of a large case of money. – IMDB

I didn’t really like this one. It’s beautiful to look at, but the main character is almost completely silent through the movie, the musical score crescendos at times giving the expectation of something exciting about to happen – then it doesn’t. It’s one long boring story that all seems a bit pointless. There is supposed to be some cross-cultural humour but wasn’t funny to me.  It’s tedious and unrewarding.
