When one studious cousin moves from the provinces to Paris, he is treated to some late 50s bohemian decadence by the other playboy cousin (and the long party scenes are handled surprisingly well here by Claude Chabrol). This is more than a good meets evil story (although that is part of it) because there is also some desire for transference (or wish fulfillment) on the part of both cousins and the result of their sustained contact is unpredictable. As with many of the early New Wave films, there is an exuberant freshness here (even as tension and loathing mount).

Um dos filmes seminais da nouvelle vague, aborda com inteligência as diferenças de caráter e de postura diante da vida de dois primos: um inseguro e introspectivo, e outro sedutor e confiante. Boas atuações e direção segura de Chabrol.

MUBI says that Les Cousins was the first New Wave movie however it did not succeed in launching the French New Wave as did soon to follow Truffaut's "Les Quatre Cents Coups". Les Cousins is a good movie about polar opposite cousins who share an apartment in Paris.

Concise progression, fine technical aspects, and the look at innocence destroyed by the profane keeps it absorbing, despite the slightly pretentious treatment at times.

This is Chabrol's second film, and its subtle development of character points toward the dense structures of his later films with their reluctance either to condemn or extol without reservation.
