Bed and Breakfast

2003 · 105 min

A gentle, sunlit French comedy of city folk floundering in rural renovation, wry rather than laugh-out-loud, easy to settle into.

Overview: Tired of their stressful parisian lifestyle, Caroline and Bertrand decide to start a new life, running a traditional gîte in deepest Provence. It is not long before they start to question the wisdom of this move – the buldings are in a state of near-dilapidation, their friend and supposed partner Sophie has walked out on them, and they are but a stone’s throw from a far more attarctive holiday home, catering for gay men. Will this change be as good as a rest or the start of a nightmare?
