Cousin, Cousine is a charming and amusing French farce which, as the title indicates, revolves around an adulterous romance en famille. It may well be that if this movie were in English it wouldn't seem funny but merely silly, as may roommate claims. Nevertheless, there are some great bits about French family life, as when the hero's alienated teen-age daughter shows her snaps of last year's wedding (featuring subjects like "Uncle Pierre flashing a moon at dinner" and "Aunt Jeanne throwing up in the garden") and when the small children are given riot squad outfits...

Nevertheless, a fairly realistic, sobering message about the inherent disillusionment in first loves manages--barely--to emerge. If you can sit through the movie without sliding out of your seat in fits of hysterics, then you may even gain a few insights that will serve as a warning if you have never...
There is a ferment within Afrikanerdom that involves even a painful demythologizing of the white man's history and divine mission. Nevertheless, belief in the sanctity and racial integrity of the tribe runs deep. "An Afrikaner will not be ruled by anyone but an Afrikaner," declares a liberal student at Stellenbosch. "To preserve our culture," suggests a prominent member of the Broederbond, "we would be willing to give up large chunks of the economic and political privileges that go with...
