Tampopo
TAMPOPO is the tale of an enigmatic band of ramen ronin, among them Ken Watanabe in his breakthrough role, who guide the widow of a noodle shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe. The film serves up a savory broth of culinary adventure, seasoned with offbeat comedy sketches and the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster. Sweet, sexy, surreal, and mouthwatering, TAMPOPO remains one of the most delectable exemplars of food on film in a newly ramen-mad era.
