MFL - Food Movies: BABETTE’S FEAST and TAMPOPO

Happy Thanksgiving, Movies for Life listeners! Seeing how it is that time of the year right now, it seemed only fitting that our episode today deals with movies all about FOOD! The preparation and appreciation of food, the artistry of the creation, how food brings us all together, and even... how sexy food can be? That's in the second movie we're talking about, but up first we have Brian's pick of the 1987 Danish film BABETTE'S FEAST. It's a beautifully calm and simple story about giving and receiving the gift of food, and ultimately its healing nature. Then things get a lot more wild, but still just as heartfelt, with Michele's pick of the 1985 Japanese comedy TAMPOPO! It's a fun ride through this anthology of sorts, as there are several hilarious vignettes interspersed within this main "ramen western" story about the journey to create the best bowl of ramen. We hope you all have fun and enjoy! We are now all on Instagram! Find and follow us all there: Movies for Life: @movielifepod Brian Keiper: @brianwaves42 Michele Eggen: @micheleeggen
