Eat Drink Man Woman - Ang Lee [General]
2008 Jun 23
Ashley, have you seen Tampopo, Juzo Itami's "Japanese noodle western"? Its more of a comedy / satire, focused a truck-driver who mentors a recent widow / shop owner in developing the perfect bowl of Ramen ... its pretty over the top. But, it covers some territory in common w/ EDMW -- e.g., culinary knowledge / traditions and their intersection w/ other aspect of culture (and cultural change).
And, like EDMW, Tampopo also includes its share of drool-worthy food preparation and consumption (incl. a famous scene involving raw egg yolk).

Anyway, i thought of this in relation to your mention of Japanese movies in the "creative mom" thread.

The opening scene of the movie was the most interesting part. I found it from YouTube and hope that you will enjoy it too!
I think Ang Lee tries to use this movie to introduce Chinese food and the preparation work required for a great dish!
