Entertainment Reviews:
...An elusive search for the perfect noodle...
Entertainment Weekly
With its stylized irises and playfully exaggerated performances, Tampopo strikes the perfect balance between slapstick homage and tender throwback.

San Diego CityBeat
Itami’s art-house hit offers the kind of sensory experience that demands a viewer’s complete surrender -- to its sumptuous culinary imagery, to the subliminal aromas that seem to come wafting off the screen, and to a soundtrack alive with the sounds of food being prepared, cooked and devoured.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 5/5 --
This is a movie that is brimming with passion for life, love, movies, and food.

It's a weird one, but it's a blast.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
A wild and uniquely Japanese culinary fantasia, but it's also not particularly cohesive.

...A thoroughly offbeat but most enjoyable comedy on the subject of food....It confirms Itami as a genuinely original comic talent...
Variety
Product Description:
Billed as the "first Japanese noodle western," this comedy offers a satirical view of the relationship between food and sex, one of the director's favorite topics. Watch as a widow running a Tokyo restaurant and a cowboy hat-wearing truck driver try to make the perfect bowl of ramen. Highly acclaimed film from director Itami.
