Dandelion Flower<br>Tampopo - 2003-06-03<br>Director: Juzo Itami<br>Japan, 1986, Color, 114 minutes<br>Undoubtedly, this original and captivating film is one of the top comedies of the 1980s in Japan. The story goes that a beautiful woman named 'Tampopo' (which means dandelion in Japanese) owns a noodle shop, but no matter what she does, her noodles turn out tasteless and ruined. Until a tall, handsome stranger named 'Goro' appears in town. Goro's entire effort is to help Tampopo improve the quality of her noodles and many other things. The entire story is just this, but with unparalleled mastery, this simple tale transforms into a mixture that seeks to establish a relationship between three pleasurable phenomena: cinema, sex, and food. While such a relationship may seem unlikely, watching a film that makes such a claim is very valuable and appropriate.
