This film was proposed by Emma Bakhle who writes: 'Tampopo is a ramen western with a dozen different stories weaving in and out of one main thread, all about food. Bizarre, funny, sad in places, very-hungry-making. In my top 3 films of all time.'
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.
