''Cousin Cousine'' is a 1975 film from France, directed by Jean-Charles Tacchella.

Marthe attends the wedding of her mother Biju to a man named Jacques. There she meets another wedding guest, Ludovic, Jacques' nephew. Marthe and Ludovic are both married, but neither particularly happily. Marthe's husband Pascal is a serial philanderer who has girlfriends literally all over town. Ludovic's flighty, neurotic wife Karine goes off to have sex with Pascal during the wedding party. While waiting with their respective spouses, Marthe and Ludovic get to know each other. Some time later, Ludovic invites Marthe out to lunch and tells her that Pascal and Karine are having an affair. The two cousins-by-marriage form a bond and start spending more time together. Soon their friendship deepens into love.

In 1989 ''Cousin Cousine'' was remade in English as ''Film/{{Cousins}}'', with Ted Danson and Creator/IsabellaRosselini.
