Being a great fan of Miike, I need to say I preferred the Korean version, here. Where Miike's version is weird and fun, Korean version is weird and somehow scary. Turning this into a musical movie was original but lost me, somehow...
The drama is not bad, food competition has a prominent place, but the plot is a little too classic as for me, and the main character's acting is terrible ^^ (just my opinion)
For those who expect to watch a "food movie", I'd say the plot is more centered on the family adventures. But it is a nice movie, still. AAAhhh I feel hungry now...
I really enjoyed watching this movie. Watched it several times already and still like it. I'm not a big fan of Tatsuya Fujiwara's acting usually, but in this movie, he's doing a good job.
Not suitable for all audiences, as this B&W movie lasts nearly 3h30 min... That being said, I liked it. Great performance of the actors, such as Yutaka Matsushige (Kodoku no Gurume) ^^
