Un toque de infidelidad

Synopsis

The Kozinskis - husband and wife Larry and Tish, and Larry's teenage son Mitch - lead a relatively carefree life. Larry chucked in his conventional job in securities to become a dance instructor, and in doing so in combination with similar acts, his paternal uncle Phil considers Larry unsuccessful in everything he does, except life. Larry recently married cosmetician Tish, a beautiful, sexually overt woman who is nonetheless insecure since she wants people to think she's smart. Mitch hides behind his video camera, which he uses not only as a crutch but a means to express himself.

The Hardys - husband and wife Tom and Maria, and their adolescent daughter Chloe - lead a typical middle class suburban life. Womanizing car dealer Tom wants people to think him successful in all aspects of his life, which often manifests itself in cheating on legal secretary Maria, to who family and the sanctity of marriage are the most important things in life.

The Kozinskis and the Hardys meet when Phil marries Maria's feisty Italian mother, Edie. At the wedding reception, Tom and Tish are immediately attracted to each other physically, and quickly begin a sexual relationship. Deep down, both Larry and Maria know what Tom and Tish did and probably continue to do. In meeting to discuss what to do about their cheating spouses, Larry and Maria form a deep, emotional friendship which blossoms into love. In seeing their respective spouses, Tom and Tish know that Larry and Maria know about their affair, but they also believe that Larry and Maria are now too having an affair based on love, which is not the case. But Larry and Maria, who now seem to be holding the cards, have to decide what best to do for themselves, for their children, and for Tom and Tish.

Larry's visiting father, Vince, who metaphorically wants to make chicken salad with his chicken, may provide Larry with some inspiration.

User reviews

Paul White
3/10

I found the musical choices in Cousins to be uninspired and lacking in originality. The generic and forgettable tunes failed to leave a lasting impact or create a memorable atmosphere for the film, ultimately detracting from the overall viewing experience.

Timothy Green
5/10

The soundtrack effectively conveys the internal struggles of the characters, especially Larry and Maria, as they navigate the complexities of love, betrayal, and family. The music becomes a character in itself, guiding the audience through the emotional journey of the film.

Paul Roberts

Kenneth Carter

The soundtrack's ability to evoke a range of emotions, from love and friendship to betrayal and uncertainty, showcases the talent and creativity of the composers in creating a cohesive and engaging musical experience for the audience.

Daniel Gonzalez
6/10

The soundtrack of Cousins perfectly captures the emotional complexity of the characters' relationships. The music enhances the tension and drama, adding depth to the storyline.

Anthony Campbell
7/10

The use of different musical motifs for each family - the Kozinskis and the Hardys - helps to distinguish their contrasting lifestyles and values, adding an extra layer of depth to the narrative.

Linda Green
6/10

The use of different musical themes for each family in the film helps to distinguish their personalities and motivations. The contrast in musical styles reflects the contrast in their lives and values, creating a rich audio landscape.

Lisa Hill
3/10

The soundtrack for Cousins felt disconnected from the emotional depth of the characters' struggles and relationships. The music did not effectively enhance or support the unfolding drama, leaving me feeling less engaged with the story.
