Tampopo
Definitely bumping this up to a 5 on rewatch, it definitely allowed me to take in all the witty intricacies and small details that goes into Tampopo, Juzo Itami absolutely shines with his brilliant subtle comedy and intertwining storyline’s with each unique different takes on food within everyone’s own personal life.
The entire premise of the film is so silly and so likeable who’d have thought you could’ve made a cut-throat western about ramen whilst also being so weirdly hilarious.
The blend of wholesome moments, mixed with drama and laugh out loud moments is so fitting for the nature of the film and it feels so down to earth and connected to human nature, we’re all drawn together over one common thing. Food.
Juzo Itami is an outstanding talent when it comes to wholesome comedic films.
