1959 Claude Chabrol French romantic family relationship melodrama. The first Chabrol-Gégauff film was Les Cousins, one of the key films of the early New Wave. Les Cousins tells the story of a naive country cousin and a cynical city cousin, both students in contemporary Paris, and of the young woman to whom both are attracted. As in many Chabrol-Gégauff films, the characters are either repressed or decadent, with other, healthier possibilities almost entirely excluded.
