Synopsis:
In post-war Japan, people are working hard, but never so much more than the Yakuza. In the city of Yokosuka, Kinta and his lover Haruko brave the post-occupation period with a goal to be together… too bad her family has agreed to sell her to the highest bidding Yank in Japan.
While Kinta deals with his relationship with Haruko, his Yakuza clan is faced with a serious problem. Sakiyama, a Hawaii-born Japanese ex-naval officer, is providing the clan with the scraps they need to feed their pigs… but with strings and dollars attached. As the gang shells out more and more money, Sakiyama begins to move his alliances..and so do the members of the gang.
With the big boss in the hospital and the gang falling to pieces, only the pigs remain a constant occurrence in the life of Kinta. However, he doesn’t realize what he has until it’s too late.

The post Mikio Naruse – Hourou-ki aka Her Lonely Lane (1962) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
Although it contains few directorial flourishes (apparently Kurosawa was saving those for the last movie), The Nouveau Riche has the best story of the series, a twisty plot that manages to be both surprising and hilarious. Much more than a flimsy vehicle for the two leads, the story is a cleverly constructed farce with enough substance to stand on its own. The fact that it features the Yuji and Kosaku characters makes it even better.

The previous movies share a similar structure: though the first two-thirds is pure comedy, the tone grows increasingly more serious during the final act, usually after someone is kidnapped by the yakuza. Kurosawa reverses this structure completely in The Nouveau Riche, beginning with the most violent sequence of the whole series, and ending (unfortunately) with slapstick.
—Jerry White, The Films of Kiyoshi Kurosawa: Master of Fear
