The tale of an enigmatic band of ramen ronin who guide the widow of a noodle shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe, Tampopo serves up a savory broth of culinary adventure seasoned with off beat comedy sketches and the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster. The 1985 Japanese Comedy, written and directed by Juzo Itami, remains one of the most delectable examples of food on film.
This screening is part of Liverpool Architectural Society's new curated film series Consuming Architecture. The series highlights three diverse films, each exploring the subject of food. The parallels between food and architecture often overlap - from the way that raw materials are sourced, processed and consumed to our understanding of both food and architecture's global, environmental and sustainable impact.
