The Fargo Moebius Strip
When the Coen Brothers kicked off the fictional film Fargo with the announcement that "This is a true story," little could they have ever imagined that a Japanese girl would apparently hunt for the buried loot five years later, and end up dead in the snow. Or that a British journalist would retrace her steps with a Japanese actress, and discover that the life-imitates-weird-art story was truer (and therefore, falser) than anyone ever knew.
