Review of Bed & Board

Bed & Board (1970)
5/10
Bed and Board
24 September 2023
The 4th film in the Antoine Doinel series directed by Trauffaut which follows a young couple trying to run their marriage but doing so in a rather childlike way.

I think you have to be a big Trauffaut lover for this. I did quite like it, it was witty and insightful about marriage, particularly a young marriage. It also borrowed from time to time from Jacques Tati which was well done - the brief scene with his character was great fun and spot on. The language was sharp and amusing but overall I seem to be the only person on the planet who didn't disappear into a state of Grace watching it and found the Japanese storyline bewildering and not very believable. I realise I'm alone in not being an admirer, but there you are. Enjoy.
