Today, our new 4K restoration of Juzo Itami’s 1985 “ramen western” TAMPOPO opens at New York’s Film Forum in the film’s first U.S. theatrical run in decades. The erotic allure of food fuels this tale of a truck driver and his band of friends, who come to the aid of a noodle shop owner’s widow as she tries to establish herself as a first-class ramen chef. To celebrate the film’s re-release, we’ve compiled a selection of articles and videos that give you a taste of this outrageous culinary comedy.
