Review of The Cousins (1959) by Dave J — 12 May 2014
Monday, May 12, 2014.
(1959) Les Cousins/ The Cousins.
(In French with English subtitles).
DRAMA.
Written and directed by Claude Chabrol with young conservative and reserve, Charles (Gérard Blain) moving to Paris to study law by staying with his total opposite counterpart, bohemian cousin, Paul (Jean-Claude Brialy) since he never seems to study for anything, who prefers to pay for his grades instead, topping it off, having frequent parties each and every night.
Part of the "New French Wave" that existed during the late 50's and 60's which much of the viewing experience, particularly the end, is like this movie is the less equivalent version of Jean Renoir's 1939 controversial masterpiece "Rules Of The Game".
2 out of 4 stars.
