A lot of people call it his worst, and it flopped commercially. I love its humor and the look at Japanese contemporary society.

In fact, all of Kurosawa's movies carry hints at subtle and black humor, if one notices carefully.

Dodesukaden is a bit different, because it shows the humane side of Jap society's poverty-stricken communities. Its a deeply-moving story, and unlike most of other Kurosawa's works, is laid firmly in real-life Japan. I d say its a must-watch for anyone who adores Kurosawa.
