Synopsis
The Cousin (Le Cousin, 1997) is a French crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Alain Corneau. Patrick Timsit plays Nounours — an informer embedded so deep in the criminal world that the cops he works with can barely claim him as one of their own.
His police contact, inspector Gérard Delvaux (Alain Chabat), plays his own game: bending rules, cutting corners, pulling off drug busts no one else could close. Together they have put away cocaine traffickers the system couldn't touch on its own. But a tenacious judge is pulling on the same thread — and it leads straight back to their partnership.
Marie Trintignant and Agnès Jaoui round out a strong cast. Corneau builds moral ambiguity without melodrama, and the film carries the particular texture of late-1990s French policier — unglamorous, unresolved, hard to shake. Stream The Cousin (1997) on iFILM.
