Following The 400 Blows, Antoine & Colette (a 32-minute short also included on this disk) and Stolen Kisses, Bed & Board is the fourth installment in the ‘Antoine Doinel Series’.
Here, Antoine is entering into full adulthood, now that he has married and is expecting a child. However his life is far from stable, as steady employment remains at arm’s length and an affair with a beautiful Japanese woman threatens to destroy his marriage.
Deft, buoyant and tinged with the bittersweet, Bed & Board is an insightful portrait of married life and the difficult, unpredictable nature of growing up.
