Mississippi Records presents Tampopo, a classic and seldom-seen 1985 Japanese "spaghetti western" about making the perfect bowl of ramen. Sound strange? You bet!

We will be onsite serving cup-o-Umi noodles and Hapa PDX broth for viewers to slurp while watching, adding an immersive pleasure to viewing one of our all-time favorite movies.  

Directed by Juzo Itami, the film follows Tampopo, a widow who runs a dilapidated ramen shop. She meets a truck driver who decides to help her move past her "sincere but character lacking" noodles onto ramen that can stand as great art. Their story is interspersed with other food-related tales about everything from the art of ordering food at a French restaurant to the dead rising to cook meals to a gangster who explores erotic ways to use edibles. We wrote about our feelings towards this movie on our blog here.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Oregon Food Bank! 

Get your tickets at the Hollywood Theatre website. It will sell out very fast so act now.
