Having recently seen Aldo Lado's The Night Train Murders, which depressed me for its gruesomeness and all out nihilism, I had somewhat different expectations for this film. However, La cugina (which was the film Lado made immediately before Night Train Murders) is a rather slow, and character driven film. It stars Dayle Haddon and Massimo
Rainieri as two cousins, who share a mutual sexual attraction from early childhood. The story follows them into adolescence and adulthood, and shows the path their attraction takes, as they become sexually conscious.
Extras:
- Musical accompaniment by Richard Siedhoff and Mykyta Sierov.
- Documents and side-by-side comparisons of "Opium" (4 min.)
- Fragments of Robert Reinert's "Sterbende Völker" (1922, 9 min.)
