Cousin Bette

Cousin Bette (1928)

La Cousine Bette

A poor relative, cousin Bette is cast aside by a wealthy family. Embittered and jealous, she devotes herself to the systematic destruction of those around her. Max de Rieux's adaptation takes the decision to return to the initial meeting of the Hulot couple as if to show the degradation of the pure feelings and sublime aspirations of youth in bloody competition and irresistible perversion in materialist society.
