Bed and Board

1970 · 97 min

A gentle, witty, and bittersweet look at young marriage and infidelity, full of small human foibles and Parisian charm.

Tagline: First Truffaut gave us The 400 Blows. Then Stolen Kisses... and now Bed and Board.
Overview: Parisian everyman Antoine Doinel has married his sweetheart Christine Darbon, and the newlyweds have set up a cozy domestic life of selling flowers and giving violin lessons while Antoine fitfully works on his long-gestating novel. As Christine becomes pregnant with the couple's first child, Antoine finds himself enraptured with a young Japanese beauty. The complications change the course of their relationship forever.
How it feels: Warm, light, romantic and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, betrayal, family, identity
