Truck driver Gorō becomes an unlikely mentor to ramen shop owner Tampopo in this acclaimed Japanese comedy from Jûzô Itami. After a chance encounter, Gorō and Tampopo find themselves on a journey of culinary discovery as they attempt to transform a struggling roadside shop into a premier ramen restaurant. Both a product of and a commentary on globalisation, Tampopo uses food to explore artisanal tradition, social norms and pleasantries, sex, and human curiosity inside a non-linear 1980s bonanza that reflects the context of a rapidly changing Japan.
Tampopo is presented in connection with Masami Teraoka and Japanese Ukiyo-e prints, a free exhibition on display at the National Gallery of Australia from 21 September 2024 until 2 March 2025.
Exhibition curator Beatrice Thompson (Associate Curator, Asia & the Pacific Art) will provide a brief introduction at the start of the film.
