Kimon the Nouveau Riche, a curious gem from 1988, dives into the chaos that accompanies sudden wealth. It's a comedy that doesn't just skim the surface of riches—it explores how money twists familial bonds and personal identity. The pacing has a certain off-kilter rhythm, which fits the absurdity of Kimon's transformation from rags to riches. The characters are exaggerated yet oddly relatable, serving up a mix of humor and pathos. What’s interesting is how it captures that late '80s vibe, with some practical effects that might feel dated but add a certain charm. Performances are a mixed bag but have this raw, unrefined energy that brings the story to life in a way that's both endearing and chaotic.
