United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: French ( Mono ), English ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Love turns out to be all in the family in this romantic comedy from France. When an elderly couple decides to marry, their families come together for a wedding banquet that turns into a raucous, wine-soaked celebration. Marthe (Marie-Christine Barrault) and Ludovic (Victor Lanoux) are distant cousins related by marriage who meet for the first time at the reception; they take an immediate liking to each other and resolve that they should see each other more often. Before long, they've become close friends, but their spouses begin to think there's more going on than just good conversation. However, the more people are convinced the two have become lovers, the more the idea of taking their friendship to the next level appeals to them. Marie-France Pisier has a memorably funny "suicide" scene as Ludovic's wife. Cousin Cousine was a surprise commercial success in the United States, where it received several Academy Award nominations and spawned an Americanized remake, Cousins (1989).; SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Ceasar Awards, Golden Globes, Oscar Academy Awards, San Sebastian International Film Festival, ...Cousin, cousine

5.0 out of 5 stars GALLIC COMEDY AT ITS BEST, 29 Oct 2007
By 
S. N. Corder "scmorales" (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cousin Cousine [1976] [DVD] (DVD)
This film was nominated for an Oscar as best foreign film. I can't remember which film won but this one would have been fully deserving. The success of the film is partly due to the chemistry and personalities of the two lead players;Marie-Christine Barrault and Victor Lanoux, the two respective cousins both with cheating spouses, who come over as two incredibly likable people and you feel yourself almost cheering them on in their affair. There is one particularly memorable scene when they are in the bath together and paint themselves with body paints which afterwards, they can't get off. The rest of the cast is of an equal caliber. Definitely worth the buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars NIce film that tries a little too hard to be funny, 3 April 2010

This review is from: Cousin Cousine [1976] [DVD] (DVD)
nice film. very french with some very typical family scenes at weddings etc. love the mixed moral tale.
The actors play it too farce-like for me as the story could be so powerful and still funny without very much effort.

3.0 out of 5 stars dvd is messed up, 17 Feb 2008
This review is from: Cousin Cousine [1976] [DVD] (DVD)
The film itself is quite likeable (I'd give it a 4 overall), but this particular DVD suffers from color mis-registration that is pretty excessive at the beginning of the film, tapering off somewhere near the middle and disappearing more or less towards the end. (And otherwise the print seem to be fine, which makes it even more disappointing.) In watchable shape, but defintely could have been done better.
