Member Pick: Tampopo

“HILARIOUS. A stirring ode to the perfect bowl of noodles. The finest work of the late master Juzo Itami.”  – Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out

The tale of an enigmatic band of ramen ronin who guide the widow of a noodle shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe, Tampopo 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 examples of food on film.
