Summary: Down Right Eye Opening
Comment: I had read about Tampopo and became instantly intrigued so I set out to watch in hope it was as interesting as I had built it up to be in my head from the brief synopsis. While watching this movie I quickly realized it was quite different than anything I had seen.
This movie is hysterical from beginning to end it is genius how such a simple story line can be done so well I cannot imagine it being done any better. This is the movie that really spawned my love and interest in Japanese films. I recommend this movie to everyone.

Summary: The Robinson fable
Comment: If I had to choose ONE film to take it with me to a desert island, this would be the one. Since the first time I saw it, in a little cinema in Paris, I have enjoyed as much every single time I had the occasion to see it again. The film is perfuct, funny, touching, intelligent - I would just wish that the technical quality of the picture would be better. Then I would not only see the film; I would eat it as well.

Summary: Sex and Death, and The Cowboy
Comment: One of my all-time favorite movies, which manages to satirize EVERYTHING without bitterness or cruelty. Especially Westerns, and Gourmets, and Gangsters, and Bushido, and. . . . . . it's really really FUNNY.
Customer Rating:
Summary: More than just ramen
Comment: The main storyline is about a bunch of culinary experts helping a noodle shop to become the best. It is funny as it is, but the real treat is in the sidetracks. The film has lots of sidebar stories, very loosely connected to the main noodle shop story. However, each and every sidebar is a satire on some aspect of Japanese culture and social customs - without being antagonistic on either.
The film is very funny and it gives you with that warm fuzzy feeling at the end. While being very entertaining, it also makes you think about the Japanese social customs. Possibly about a noodle soup for dinner as well :-)
