Les Enfants Terribles (1950)

Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville and taken from Jean Cocteau's 1929 novel of the same name. There is much debate as to whose film it actually is: Melville or Cocteau. This is only Melville's second feature film and a lot of film scholars give credit to Cocteau as the true director.

The story is simply about the relationship between a teenage brother and sister who are orphaned shortly after the story begins. The older sister seems to be the authority, making the decisions for the family. The relationship between the two siblings seems combative at times, but it is obvious that they are two halves of the same personality.
