Zen and the Art of Noodle Eating
No, a Japanese comedy isn’t an oxymoron. In this one you can forget all the swordplay of the Samurai movies, and all the tragedy of the modern dramas. This one is really funny.

The plot is skeletal. Two guys happen upon a woman named Tampopo (“Dandelion”) trying to manage a run-down noodle shop and they decide to help her turn the place into an economic and gastronomic four-diamond establishment. They succeed. That’s the plot. The whole plot.

But the film is fleshed out with episodes, usually unrelated to one another, some of them as amusing as anything ever put on the screen. Every single sidesplitting one is played and directed in a straight-faced way.

I’ll give just one example. A gangster and his beautiful moll are about to make love. They kiss passionately. The camera moves in for a closeup of their lips and we see that a raw egg is being slipped back and forth between mouths. The couple progress to foreplay in the nude. The foreplay consists of the man slapping a clear plastic pint of live shrimp upside down on his lover’s belly. The shrimp skitter around on her flesh and she titters and writhes with desire. Later, alas, the young man is shot multiple times by rival mobsters. He’s sprawled on his back in the dirt, his white clothes soaked with blood. She rushes to him and kneels beside him, weeping. He goes into the cliche of the “last dying words,” barely able to gasp them out. What does he tell her? That he loves her? That he regrets his disreputable life? No — he launches into an outrageously long story about hunting boars when he was a child. The boars would eat nothing but yams, when the yams were ripe. They became stuffed with yams and nothing but yams. Then when they were hunted down, the boars yielded long strings of intestines that were packed with yams. “They were like yam sausages, you see.” I don’t think I caught the tail end of his narrative because I was dissolved in laughter.

The whole thing revolves around food in its various forms. People rise from the dead to cook a final meal for their grieving families. They prepare the most mouthwatering rice omelettes imaginable. Proper young ladies learn how to eat noodles without making vulgar sounds. They do all sorts of things with and about food. Cuisine is to this movie what sex is to Italian comedies.

Do not be put off by the fact that this movie has subtitles. In poor movies subtitles are a distracting nuisance. But in this case, you’ll hardly notice them, hardly be able to read them through the laughter.
