    What emotions do we relate to food?
    When fed, we are cared after and appreciated. But eating isn't only about living, it's about surviving also, each meal a reminder of one's mortality and continuous need for consumption.

    Tampopo is playful, sarcastic, erotic, and witty, even when it comes to death itself.

    To be fed is to be loved, to feed is to nurish, to eat is to die.

    A fun and raw collection of food centered anectodes that feels like being sucked into a Yakuza substory for 2 hours.

    this movie just bores you out of your mind and then triggers you with SA

    like, it was already bad but come on, did you really have to go there?

    absolutely irredeemable with 0 self awareness about its vision and messaging

    tl;dr: kinda good movie on a surface level, painfully mid and misleading subtextually. concept with potential, would like to see it adapted by a non murican director

    aftersun did the mentally ill father that cares for daughter concept very well without feeling voyeuristic
    a single man did the dead gay love of one's life concept very well without making it feel empty, I'd say watch these instead

    what's with the pedo bullshit

    "haha no you don't get it, they have such a unique chemistry, what a match made in heaven, what an unlikely pair"

    absolute pedo crap, I'm so sad because there's a good movie hidden in there somewhere
