Movie Reviews of Tampopo
Movie Review: Tampopo
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I have seen this movie several times on the IFC channel and enjoy it immensely. I was thrilled to find the DVD. There are several version listed and this is the only one I've seen. It is a story of a women whose goal is to learn how to make to best bowl of soup ever. There is some subtle humor in this and you find yourself really rooting for the main character. It is definitely a different type of movie, but I have encountered many people over the years that rave about this movie. I wouldn't consider a cult classic, though some people do. There is overtones of discrimination as she is a woman and is trying to do a man's job. I love the trials and tribulations she goes through to perfect her craft. This is an entertaining movie and makes me laugh ever time.Movie Review: Tampopo is a definite GO GO!
Summary: 5 Stars
Movie is just as good now as it was back then when I first saw it in the late 80's. This movie will make you hungry and have you laughing about it. This movie hits hard and doesn't stop until you find a delicious bowl of ramen to satisfy the craving it leaves you with. Truly a masterpiece that can evidently be seen to be inspired by the great works of Akira Kurosawa, and Sergio Leone with a little bit of classic Marx brothers comedy thrown in. Those who have never seen this movie have been missing out, and those who have seen it, will absolutely agree that it's worth keeping in their "top greatest movies of all time" list. Be sure to watch on a full stomach, you have been warned!Movie Review: Delicious!
Summary: 5 Stars
A delightful noodle Western. A widowed mother of one finds unlikely allies in her grail-like quest for the best ramen noodles and soup. This, contrary to what one might believe, is serious business. It requires dedication, perseverance, artistry, risk and even espionage. If you love food, comedy, films that poke fun at popular culture, kitsch romance, high cinema; if you revel in a great story served with a healthy dash of mushy love and more than a sprinkling of burly machismo; if, above all, you love a happy ending, you'll love Tampopo. Perfectly balanced. Now, if only they'd come out with the companion recipe book - I am dying to try the rice omelet and the ramen soup with pork!Movie Review: If you love to eat
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion there is no movie that writes with more passion about food. The main story is about a woman trying to upgrade her mediocre noodle restaurant to the best noodle place in town. In her quest to find out about the perfect noodle soup she teams up with a variety of characters, one even more colorful than the next.
Throughout the movie also run a bunch of other food-related stories. Especially the side tale about a Yakuza mobster and his mistress is beautiful and unforgettable with scenes of pure art.
Overall the movie is great fun and full with love for food and life in general. This should be watched by all of you who have a passion.
Movie Review: Funny, Sexy, Delicious
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a delightful punning play on the theme of a spaghetti western. The main story revolves around the tale of a threatened noodle shop and its widowed owner. A very broadly drawn cowboy rides into town in this pickup truck (complete with horns on the hood) and saves the day. Side plots include a society of homeless gastronomes, an example of mother-love gone way too far and the best use of a shrimp by a gangster in any movie ever.
The serious underside is that this is a mouth-watering depiction of the love of food and it would be a rare gourmet who didn't have to stop the dvd at least once to grab a snack.
