Food and Sex
, February 27, 2001Reviewer: isotheone - See all isotheone's reviewsIt's not a good idea to see this film on an empty stomach. This is a truly amazing movie about food and sex, two things we all need and at times crave. The side dishes are even better than the main course.
Pros: If you like food and twisting stories you'll love this
Cons: gotta read the subtitles, terintino needs to remake this in english
I'm not a movie buff and never sat through a movie you had to read (sub titled), if you only watch one sub titled movie in your life make it this one. I saw this movie 10 years ago and it still stuck in my head today, something about it is magical. If you liked Four Rooms, you'll love Tampopo. Way ahead of it's time (made in 1986). The movie touches on life through food in a most artistic way.
Glad I saw it once and will watch it again and again for years to come. ...
