Widely beloved for it's hilarious marriage of food and eroticism, Tampopo, (1985, 115 mins) offers a rapturous, romantic adventure underpinned by a deft satire of the way social conventions distort the most natural of human urges—our appetites. Philosopher and media theorist Walter Benjamin once said that every great work of art destroys or creates a genre, with Tampopo Japanese director Juzo Itami created the first ever “Ramen Western.” The tale follows an eccentric band of culinary ronin who guide the widow of a noodle-shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe, interspersed with the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster and comedic glimpses of food culture both high and low.
