A genial cult comedy from Japan, Tampopo has various sub-plots (all dealing with food) that revolve around the central story, the efforts of two truckers — one young, one old — to revive the fortunes of a small roadside ramen shop (and unlock the secrets behind the perfect noodle). In this fantasy scene, Gun, the younger trucker, learns some valuable lessons in how to best appreciate the most simple of dishes.
INTERESTING FACT: Gun is played by Ken Watanabe, the Oscar-nominated actor who has appeared in The Last Samurai, Batman Begins, and Inception.
