As tensions between the U.S. and Iran mount, his fervent devotion to Islam and the Ayatollah Khomeini mix uneasily (and sometimes comically) with her own attempts to keep up a facade of carefree American teenagerdom.

*Cousin Bette*, or Part One of 'Poor Relations,' is considered to be Honore de Balzac's last great novel, the capstone on an oeuvre that spanned nearly a hundred novels.

 Amazon.com: Cousin Cousine (1976) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Released in 1975, on the surface this is just an off-beat love story about two middle-aged "cousins-by marriage" who are drawn to each other by a shared playfulness.
Films have the power to deconstruct the traditional values of society and this love story is also a social commentary on the hypocrisy and double-standards of 1970's western middle class culture.
This is true of the cousins, too, but there is something sweet and innocent--and sensual in their lovemaking--that makes watching them pleasing.

I caught the weird spelling of cousin too, but in French a male cousin would still be spelled cousin, cousine would only be a female, so he messed up twice in one mis-typing.
Doesn't surprise me though, the French have had a large influence on the Middle East, so I'd think a francophone misspelling would be expected over here.
My guess is that he's French or Belgian, since one of CNN's quotes caught him misspelling "cousin" by using the french spelling of "cousine." Call me S. Holmes.
