Tampopo (タンポポ) - 1985 - With Subtitles - Part I 29/10/2019

On Ramen:
This lovely film, Tampopo, is a classic, and says so much about what our readings from Week 11 describe as being built into the identity, perception and personal experience of Ramen. Positioned against the readings, we can begin to think of this representation as a "period piece" capturing a synthesis of associations that weren't available in previous periods.
