Cousin, cousine
1975 Comedy / Romance
Review
This lightweight romantic comedy was a surprising success in America, and was nominated
for three Oscars, including – astonishingly – best film (although it actually won none).
The film does have some entertaining aspects (most notably Guy Marchand’s endearing comedy), and Marie-Christine Barrault’s performance is also quite pleasing. However, it is overall rather a bland and formulaic affair, which goes nowhere near exploiting its full comic potential. The film was honoured with an American remake, “Cousins”, in 1989. © James Travers 2000 Write a review for this film...User Comments
