Tampopo
Director: Juzo Itami
1985 / 114min / DCP
Japanese milk-truck drivers (Tsutomu Yamazaki and Ken Watanabe) team up with the owner of a run-down roadside food stall (Nobuko Miyamoto, in the title role) to help her kick up her noodle-making game a notch in Itami’s brash, bawdy, knee-slapping “ramen Western,” a paean to the simple pleasures to be found at the kitchen table and in the boudoir.
