Comments on Tampopo
I was delighted to find "Tampopo" and see Koji in a film 15 years ago.
It is always interesting to see an actor one likes in earlier roles and I enjoyed this one.
I particularly liked his scene with the young lady who caught oysters. I had read reviews of the film and the references to it being a Japanese "western".  I was busy reading subtitles when I saw it for the first time, but on the second viewing I began to see the "western" aspects.  I also learnt a lot about noodles!
