Cousines (Cousins - Full Haitian Movie)

Creole / French version. Subtitled in English / French (1h 46mn)

"Haitian multi-hyphenate Richard Senecal’s third outing, about a young woman who must choose between love and money, is a simple moral fable wrapped in beauty. Through Senecal’s DV lens, the entire island, interiors and exteriors alike, are bathed in soft light, looking like the work of a superior art director with an extremely felicitous eye for color. His actors are even more aesthetically pleasing, garbed in pure lines and fabrics. Even the gray school uniforms subtly blend with the surrounding hues. Striking storytelling with an almost folkloric resonance should find a niche on cable." - Ronnie Scheib (Variety Magazine)
