La cugina (1974)

Curiosidades

The Cousin is a 1974 Italian romance film by the director Aldo Lado, with a score by Ennio Morricone. From a novel by Ercole Patti, it tells the coming of age stories of a group of young people in Sicily in the 1950s.

Production

In an interview published in 2005 the director said the story of the original novel was altered so that the erotic tension between the two cousins gradually intensified up to the time of their final encounter. When filming it, he and his cinematographer decided to alternate between normal time and slow motion: “What I wanted to convey was that for them at that moment time as we know it had ceased to exist.”
