Tampopo Feature from Joe Medjuck on Vimeo.
Roger Ebert concludes,
And this very, very Japanese movie, which seems to make no effort to communicate to other cultures, is universally funny almost for that reason. Who cannot identify with the search for the perfect noodle? Certainly any American can, in the land of sweet corn festivals, bakeoffs and contests for the world's best chili. This is a very funny movie.Empire Online says it's "Charming and touching, with lots of sumptuous meals to inspire you to get cooking." Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus score of 100%.

One of the reasons I don´t go to the cinema, LOL (well, now no one does...).
ReplyDeleteTallest guy from earth in front of me, people munching loud stuff, commenting etc, cinema is hell for me.
I'm so short the seats are a misery. I sit where no one can be directly in front of me. The flashing lights of surrounding cell phones is what bothers me most.
Delete...the search for the perfect noodle is endless.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could do perfect noodles, or even get close.
DeleteDid you like it? The idea of searching for a perfect noodle sounds like a fun adventure.
ReplyDeleteYes, I enjoyed it. I tend to like the Asian comedies :)
DeletePerfect noodle? Nah, but perfect chocolate that would be an adventure
ReplyDeleteSign me up for both!
DeleteI haven't seen this in ages. When I did, it was with a big group of Japanese from a Japan-America society meet-up. They laughed at things I didn't quite get from the subtitles but I loved it!
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to watch with someone who could explain the "in" things I'm sure I missed.
DeleteDoes sound a fun movie.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I liked it.
DeleteI'll give it a miss, I'm not a friend of noodles! Valerie
