Ken Watanabe, Nobuko Miyamoto, Tsutomu YamazakiOriginally produced by Janus Films (The Criterion Collection) in 1985.The tale of an eccentric band of culinary ronin who guide the widow of a noodle-shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe, this rapturous "ramen western" by Japanese director Juzo Itami is an entertaining, genre-bending adventure underpinned by a deft satire of the way social conventions distort the most natural of human urges, our appetites. Interspersing the efforts of TAMPOPO and friends to make her café a success with the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster and glimpses of food culture both high and low, the sweet, sexy, and surreal TAMPOPO is a lavishly inclusive paean to the sensual joys of nourishment, and one of the most mouthwatering examples of food on film ever made. Nominated for Best Foreign Film at the **Film Independent Spirit Awards**. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. *"TAMPOPO is a thriving, celebratory and delightful classic that will leave you ravished by the end, for ramen, Asian cuisine or really, any form of sustenance." - Tina Hassannia, **National Post***Mode of access: World Wide Web.
