TV If you can remember I recommend you put a tape in your VCR for Channel 4 at 12:35am on Monday, for a rerun 'Alt TV: This is a true story' a companion piece to the film Fargo (showing before it) telling the story of Takako Konishi who appeared in the real place desperately seeking something. A misunderstanding with a local police officer led them to believe that she was looking for the money buried by Steve Buscemi in the film. She wasn't, but the real reason is staggeringlly poiniant. It's a quirky but extremely good documentary itself, influenced slightly by La Jetee in its use of stills. If you want some background after you've watched, the director Paul Berczeller wrote this interesting piece.
