A young provincial comes up to Paris to study law and shares his cousin Paul's flat, who is a kind of decadent boy always dragging along with other idles.
Intense morality play contrasting rural innocence and sincerity with urban decadence and idleness to a tragic end.
Halliwell*: "The country cousin fable filled with undramatic detail and given a rather perverse ending without any apparent point."
Maltin***1/2: "Complex, depressing, ultimately haunting tale of youthful disillusion...Superbly directed by Chabrol."
