im doing my last bunch of good movie watching before the world cup starts in earnest

just watched juzo itami’s SUPERMARKET WOMAN (1996)

part hilarious farce, part business school, part serious drama, add some improbable shenanigans, and you have an afternoon of fun.

kind of like tampopo in a supermarket! less episodic and more of a straighforward story than its predecessor. some reviewers have been saying that it’s also about “food”. bullshit i say. like that zen and the motorcycle maintenance book, both this and tampopo are about QUALITY. also, appearances by awesome trucks.

eta: apparently DEKOTORA is a thing!

and there’s a whole genre of movie about them. who knew! i must find some.

anyway SUPERMARKET WOMAN is kind of a ridiculous movie but very conscious of it and highly entertaining.
