Cousin Bette

"Cousin Bette" is a period comedy-drama set in 19th-century Paris, following a scorned spinster who schemes her way through the lives of the wealthy relatives who wronged her. Elisabeth Shue leads the cast with a performance that mixes bitterness and seduction in equal measure, and the film doesn't shy away from the era's tangled affairs and backstage indiscretions. Fans of Shue can catch her baring skin across 3 scenes collected here, including topless and nude scenes that add some heat to the film's biting satire of class and desire.
