Review of Tampopo (1985) by Kelly Y — 28 May 2008
Had St. Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle been of a certain age in Japan (say their 20s in the 1980s) then they wouldn't have had to wonder about the essence of things. The essence of things, say life, is food and sex.
Take this and set it against a less dour "High Noon" backdrop and you understand what Juzo Itami knew all along; a perfect bowl of noodles is a beautiful thing.
