1985 · 1h 55m · NRRepertory

Tampopo (1985), a repertory screening, is coming to Tomorrow Theater, an independent theater in Portland. First showtime: Sun, Nov 15, 7:00 PM.

In this humorous paean to the joys of food, a pair of truck drivers happen onto a decrepit roadside shop selling ramen noodles. The widowed owner, Tampopo, begs them to help her turn her establishment into a paragon of the "art of noodle-soup making". Interspersed are satirical vignettes about the importance of food to different aspects of human life.
