"Cousin" is a 1999 short film from Australia and it soon has its 20th anniversary. It runs for 4.5 minutes only and it is an animated work by filmmaker Adam Elliot. This was fairly early in his career when he made a trilogy of films about male family members. Apart from "Cousin", these included "Brother" and "Uncle". I am not sure if there is any autobiographical reference in these films from Elliot, but I think that this one here is superior to "Uncle" and improvement is visible as we are moving closer in time to his Oscar winner "Harvie Krumpet". Oh year, "Cousin" is in black-and-white too. I think it is an effective little movie and works very well at a runtime of under 5 minutes. I don't feel as if I have just watched something really great or outstanding, but it was a very pleasant little film and I give it a thumbs. Go see it if you can.
