Bed and Board
Director: François Truffaut Run Time: 97 min. Format: DCP Release Year: 1970 Language: French
Starring: Claude Jade, Hiroko Berghauer, Jean-Pierre Léaud
The fourth installment in François Truffaut’s chronicle of the ardent, anachronistic Antoine Doinel, BED AND BOARD plunges his hapless creation once again into crisis. Expecting his first child and still struggling to find steady employment, Doinel (Léaud) involves himself in a relationship with a beautiful Japanese woman that threatens to destroy his marriage. Lightly comic, with a touch of the burlesque, BED AND BOARD is a bittersweet look at the travails of young married life and the fine line between adolescence and adulthood. – Janus Films
