If you loved Tampopo, try The Funeral
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. The Funeral tiene aproximadamente 8.6× votos menos que Tampopo — es una opción más underground, no una recomendación de masas. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Jūzō Itami, and they both carry the playful, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tampopo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Funeral is
Itami trains his satirical eye on the rituals of death. A family gathers for a traditional Japanese funeral after the sudden passing of its patriarch. What follows is a send-up of social expectations, with just a touch of familial warmth.
