Review of Tampopo (1985) by Jeff R — 26 Mar 2008
Food, sex, cowboys, mafia,... this Juzo Itami's 'Japanese Spaghetti Western' has it all. His recent suicide is a colossal loss! Ken Watanabe is brilliant as Gun. Kôji Yakusho the sensuous gangster, and his maul, Kensô Katô, indulge in episodes of epicurean sex play that go beyond the erotic.
Toshimune Kato as the satirical young exec who flies in the face of Japanese conformity. And Yoshi Kato as the Street Bum/Noodle Master will you have you in stitches as he sardonically purloins the dumpsters of gourmet establishments concocting delicacies.
Oishi-deskanay. Itadakimasu!
