Decidedly the psychological state of the protagonist (Rinko Kikuchi) in the David and Nathan Zellner’s Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter is slightly off its axis, yet she is one of the more methodical, wholeheartedly determined anti-heroines in recent memory. An urban legend that is born out of fact, generously dipped into fiction and becomes a meta-wink to Coen Bros.’ Fargo, the creators behind effervescent contributions such as Goliath and Kid Thing (2013) received major accolades when it premiered at last year’s Sundance Film Festival. IONCINEMA.com partnered with Spot Interactive to present a teaser (soon) to an interview I conducted with one half of the Zellner team. Make sure to click on both parts of my interview with David at the tail end of the teaser. Amplify Releasing releases the pic in theatres today.
