Great fun. I loved the interludes throughout the main story. Their thematic connection--the love of food--serves to undergird Tampopo's story of becoming a better ramen cook. The whole film combines these disparate ingredients into a delightful meal filled with humor and (not too schmaltzy) sentiment.

Heartwarming farce about food. Feels like a more toned-down Monty Python set in Japan. A weird one.

One of those sneaky-great films that proves that greatness can come in an endless variety of shapes and sizes (which, it occurs to me, is a pretty fair synopsis of the plot as well). A celebration of the love, joy, and comfort which great cooking can bring, dashed off with just enough surreal irreverence and humor to make it truly unique. I fucking love ramen.

Student of ramen eating: "One fine day... I went out with an old man. He's studied noodles for 40 years. He was showing me the right way to eat them."

Probably best viewed with a native Japanese guide, this is an endearing story with sometimes quirky humor and hidden layers that Westerners might not understand.

Watching this was delightful. Before I knew it, my worries in life briefly melted away. Watching Tampopo improve her ramen so eagerly is as pure as cinematic joys can get. Simple, sophisticated, warm, and surprising. And also the egg scene.

A supremely oddball set of loosely connected vignettes about delicious food and its connection with life itself. Seems like a lot of these segments ended before they could really make a statement, but it was still a largely enjoyable way to trigger all of my food cravings.

The film looks beautiful, with some fantastic blocking and cinematography, including an impressive amount of one-shots. The story does get drawn out a bit too much, and the pacing kind of shoots itself in the foot when it goes off tangent in various parts. But it's certainly enjoyable.

How food connects us all to life, love, sex, death, humor, and loss. The film is quirky and full of a wonderful optimism. A joy from start to finish.

Jûzô Itami's direction is absolutely fantastic in this film. He crafts ensemble scenes so that each character gets ample space to move as well as utilizing blocking to great effect. The premise is also incredibly original and creative. It is as absurd and humorous as its description leads on. Itami's direction is supplemented by memorable performances from Tsutomu Yamazaki (Gorô) and Nobuko Miyamoto (Tampopo).
