About Les Trois Cousins
The Three Cousins is a comedy-drama by René Vautier released in 1970 about the living conditions of three Algerian immigrant cousins looking for work in Paris. Housed in a narrow construction shed, the coal stove will cause them to suffocate. The Three Cousins won the Best Human Rights Film Award in Strasbourg in 1970.
Directed by René Vautier, Les Trois Cousins leans on a strong ensemble — Mohamed Zinet, Farouk Derdour, Hamid Djellouli — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1970.
