One of my favorite movies is Tampopo, and this has to be right up there with it. Only this movie is about cakes instead of noodles. Anyway, I love the beautiful scenes in the movie, the powerful acting and the beautiful Korean actresses. They are so hot, they make me lust after them. It has a scene set around Christmas, one of my best seasons and favorite time of the year that actually showed snow, so that was spectacular. My only regret is that I didn't catch it in 2000 when it came out. It's too bad there isn't a movie theater in SF,CA that'll setup special nights for different themes like a food movie night,etc. and show a bunch of finely selected flicks that have to do with food. Maybe, the Four Star theater might do it if it survives it's May 05 contract.
