Product Information

Tampopo (Criterion Collection) 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 (Nobuko Miyamoto) 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.

  • A quirky foodie's delight

    Tampopo starts off well enough with a unique opening that immediately breaks the fourth wall and sets a tone of weird coolness. The movie continues to be entertaining enough until after about the 45 minute mark where it begins being weird for the sake of being weird and oddly enough, starts to take the subject of ramen way too seriously. This dramatic tonal shift is what utterly disappointed me as by the end of the flick I didn't understand many of the characters motivations, or care for that matter, and I wasn't charmed into caring about the art of ramen with the movies initially touted funiness/charm. Overall, I would rate this an okay movie but it certainly falls short of what it ultimately could have been.

  • The Original Noodle Western

    IMHO, the best food movie of all time. And this Criterion version looks far better and has some nice additional materials.
