The Cousin
Nounours is the nickname of a "cousin" an informer with a special arrangement with the police: he gets 10% of the drugs seized thanks to his help. When his personal contact, inspector Maurin, commits suicide, inspector Gérard Delvaux takes over. Meanwhile, judge Lambert is uncovering the illegal practices of the policemen. Her persistent investigations, which had cornered Maurin, are leading to Gérard, and also to Nounours as the source of heroin that led to recent cases of deadly overdoses. Nounours promises Gérard increasingly bigger catches which he is intent on realising before he is forced to reveal who Nounours is to judge Lambert.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director knows what they want to say — and that shows in every frame. The film doesn't scatter itself on unnecessary things, holds its chosen tone from start to finish.
There's something that puts it above the genre average. Not without weak points, but with strong enough merits to recommend.
A good choice for an evening when you want a film — just a good film.
Director: Alain Corneau
