What The Cousins Is About
Charles arrives from the provinces to study law and moves in with his cousin Paul in Paris. Paul spends his nights on parties, follows no rules and is enormously attractive; Charles is diligent and timid. When Charles falls for Florence, from Paul's circle, the balance between the cousins breaks. Claude Chabrol sets it up like a fable in which the hardworking man is rewarded and then does the opposite. It is the mirror image of his first film Le Beau Serge from the year before, with the same two actors and their roles swapped. It won the Golden Bear in 1959.
