The Cousin

About This Movie

The Cousin is quite the intriguing piece from '97. The film dives into the murky waters of crime and betrayal, centered around Nounours, this informer with a rather odd arrangement with the cops. It’s got this gritty, almost claustrophobic atmosphere that really keeps you on edge. The pacing has its moments of tension and then these slower, more reflective scenes, which gives it a unique rhythm. Performances feel raw—there’s a realism to them that pulls you in. The themes of trust and corruption are heavy, but the practical effects aren’t overdone; they serve the story without overshadowing it. You can feel the weight of the world they inhabit. It’s definitely distinctive in its approach to crime drama, making it worth a watch for genre enthusiasts.
