Tampopo
Recommended by Jeremiah
Not just a “ramen western” but an exploration of how food is woven into every part of our lives from decadence to sex to death.

One of the wildest nights of my life, and I hardly moved under the covers.
It was 3 A.M. in our basement bedroom. Just finished watching Kurowasa’s Dreams. Tanpopo started playing, starting midway through (the back and forth egg).
By the time it finished, we just had to watch it from the beginning. Screw going to sleep at a reasonable hour, it was already daylight. We simply needed to make sure our gourds weren’t rotting.

“the ramen quest in tampopo (1985) – this whole movie is a love story to ramen: we see perfectly cooked noodles, rich pork broth, soft-boiled eggs, and every detail of flavor is just right. – this whole movie is a love story to ramen: perfectly cooked noodles, pork broth, soft-boiled eggs, and every herb known to man.”
