Tampopo
Itami Juzo's groundbreaking and delectable masterpiece Tampopo is possibly the ultimate food film. Combining ingenious vignettes that conjure pure cinema from Chaplin to Preston Sturges with a delicious genre pastiche, it was proclaimed as the first 'ramen western.' Tampopo is a glorious celebration of life through food that transcends all borders. Essential! SVA MEMBERS: please use code SVAmemberWS20 and show ID at the Theatre.
