- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A superb dark comedy, companion piece to Cousin Bette.Sylvain Pons is a dear old man, a musician and a poor relation of a titled family, to whom he repairs for gourmet dinners, and by whom he is regularly insulted and disparaged. Pons' overarching interest is picking up valuable antiques for a song, and he has amassed an amazing collection, which live in the flat he shares with devoted, childlike fellow musician, the German Schmucke. And which is presided over by the rapacious concierge, Mme Cibot...When Pons falls ill; when those in the vicinity come to realise his 'bric a brac' is worth a mint, and when numerous others get involved...a corrupt doctor and his equally dodgy solicitor chum, the titled relatives who hope to inherit...and certain more lowly locals...a complex web unfolds.Numerous laugh-out-loud observations on life and personalities
