Yet another Valentine’s Day is almost here, dear readers. Enjoy the holiday, and hopefully none of you will be dragged to see Fifty Shades of Grey by your significant others. In the meantime, this week’s Trailer Trashin’ column is a change of pace from the last couple weeks, with a look at the upcoming indie drama Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter.
Premise: Struggling twenty-something Kumiko (Rinko Kikuchi) lives in utter solitude in a cluttered, cramped apartment in Tokyo with her pet rabbit, Bunzo. She works a dead-end job under an awful boss, is intimidated by her well-off peers, and nagged incessantly by her overbearing mother. The only joy in her life comes from a grainy VHS tape – an American film in which a man buries a satchel of money in the snowy plains of the Midwest. Kumiko becomes convinced that this treasure is real, and obsesses over its discovery.
