i say this without a hint of irony: this is a superhero movie
Treats the inner workings of a fledgling grocery store with all the gravity of a great drama without losing any of the comedy, resulting in a beautiful tale about passion. A complete middle finger to doing things the way you’re supposed to as predicated by the systems in place, and a celebration of honesty and love in its place. A firm belief in the good of doing things on your own terms and being uncompromising. Nobuko Miyamoto turns in what may be her best performance in a life full of phenomenal performances. If you’re not watching Juzo Itami do yourself a favor and please do. His movies remind me of life at its best.
ok this woman is really good at supermarket
Uncut Gems wants what the egg sale scene in Supermarket Woman has
Tampopo is great, but this is even better for my money. Just that pairing of Nobuko Miyamoto and Masahiko Tsugawa is pure cinema magic, never mind the fact it's an immensely vibrant, human, and infectiously funny movie. Nobuko Miyamoto's wardrobe here is off the handle. Most of the time she looks like a 12-year old boy wearing her parents' clothes but her parents in this case are Marge Simpson & Ned Flanders.
Only Juzo Itami could have made this movie. Supermaket Woman has that cartoonish comedic style Itami is known for, and it's starring Nobuko Miyamoto who plays another character who is impossible not to love. Similar to Tampopo, he takes a simple story with ultimately low stakes and turns it into so much more.
This is about a small grocery store that needs to pull itself together if it's going to compete with the huge supermarket nearby. Itami takes this laughably simple story about a grocery store and turns it into a grand story. There are points when it feels like a cop action film, mafia crime film, or even martial arts film. It's full of energy from start to finish.…
Marx’s theory of alienation but made fun and appealing
there's a scene where the supermarket woman squirts kewpie mayo in someone's face to stop him from stealing !!!
supermarket woman for president
superMARXist woman!
delightful watch. hanako, her fuzzy sweater and militant bowlcut are so very precious. i too dream of running a local grocery store selling only the freshest ground beef and sashimi for cheap, all while upending the corporate patriarchal supermarket industry that insist on exploiting my customers!
this is MY Wolf of Wall Street
hi, have you ever wanted to openly weep about grocery store employees supporting each other and taking pride in their work? me too, let's make a bowl of popcorn and put on Supermarket Woman
the girlbossification of the grocery industry <3 jk this is mainly about the importance of local business and anti-corporations (the big-box store is literally called "discount demon," it made me laugh very hard). juzo itami made such a lovely film that it temporarily made me forget how much i hated being a grocery store cashier in high school!! nobuko miyamoto squirts a whole bottle of mayonnaise in a thief's face, it is so SILLY! the comfort movie crowd is sleeping on itami i think 😌
