- serf 12y ago>would also recommend Tampopo[1] That's the first time I have seen that movie mentioned outside the media class that introduced me to it. To this day I think about it whenever I eat luke-warm ramen or soba that's overcooked. It's a pretty fun movie.
- m_mueller 12y agoIf you like Tampopo I recommend everything else by Jūzō Itami. Especially "Minbo no onna", a comedy about the Yakuza (Japanese mafia), one of the most brilliant comedies I know.
- malnourish 12y agoItami was a master. I highly recommend The Funeral (Ososhiki). It is a beautiful dark comedy.
