Juzo Itami’s rapturous “ramen western” returns to Canadian screens for the first time in decades, in a new 4K restoration. The tale of an enigmatic band of ramen ronin who guide the widow of a noodle shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe, Tampopo serves up a savory broth of culinary adventure seasoned with offbeat comedy sketches and the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster. Sweet, sexy, surreal, and mouthwatering, Tampopo remains one of the most delectable examples of food on film.

Reviews

A delicious, hilarious platter of food-related vignettes, as well as Tampopo's efforts to reach noodle nirvana - which involves recipe-stealing, countless kitchen maneuvers, confrontations with rival dough boilers...bring a napkin.
