Les Cousins

 

This was a pretty effective early effort from Claude Chabrol.  It's concerning two cousins who decide to live together while they go to college.  One is hardworking and the other is a lucky guy who just gets by.  You feel so sorry for the doormat hardworking guy as his cousin proceeds to take his girl, played by the very beautiful Juliette Mayniel.  The guy seems to not be angry at all at his cousin for taking his girl as he continues to live with him peacefully. You wonder if this guy is even human but then comes the ending.  I have to admit the ending took me by surprise.  I think this is one of Chabrol's best.
