About this movie

In this darkly comedic odyssey, Academy Award nominee Rinko Kikuchi (Babel, Pacific Rim) stars as Kumiko, a frustrated Office Lady whose imagination transcends the confines of her mundane life. Kumiko becomes obsessed with a mysterious, battered VHS tape of a popular film she’s mistaken for a documentary, fixating on a scene where a suitcase of stolen cash is buried in the desolate, frozen landscape of North Dakota. Believing this treasure to be real, she leaves behind Tokyo and her beloved rabbit Bunzo to recover it – and finds herself on a dangerous adventure unlike anything she’s seen in the movies. With Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter, indie mavericks the Zellner Bros. spin a strangely touching underdog fable, populated by eccentrics and elevated to sonic heights by a Sundance award-winning score from electro-indie outfit The Octopus Project and executive produced by Alexander Payne (The Descendants, Sideways), that will leave audiences rooting for the impossible.

Ratings and reviews

Watched this whole night long, didn't even know what this movie was leading to. It's really painful and boring of watching it.

Pega algum ritmo do meio pro fim mas ainda assim não acho que vale gastar o tempo com ele.

這是日本系統的傳統文化，說明過去日本女人對於丈夫都是百依百順的，非常傳統，這在國際間大家都是耳熟能詳的事，一般人都非常愛看日本片，也很喜歡日本的文化，日本式的建築 ，擺設，如果你們有興趣可以在看電影時多留意。陳素惠本名薌嵐特在此留言。時間民國105年，西元2016年 地點~臺灣省。
