KUMIKO, THE TREASURE HUNTER Coming to Blu-ray This June

unnamedIn 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. The film arrives on Blu-ray June 30th. Continue on to learn more about the upcoming release.

“A deceptive, contradictory, barbed work of considerable formal audacity and artistic ambition.”

~ Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com

 

“One of this century’s most breathtaking independent films.”

~ Lindsey Bahr, Associated Press
