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.
Top critics, in their words
It is laced with little incidents, quirky characters, incisive insights and quintessentially French national traits of complacency that avoid chauvinism in Truffaut's gentle but never sentimental or indulgent treatment.
Bed and Board is one of the most decent and loving films I can remember.
I can't help believing that Francois Truffaut's latest Antoine Doinel comedy, Bed and Board, will turn out to be one of the loveliest, most intelligent movies we'll see in all of 1971.
The sadness of the film's decaying domesticity keeps undermining it, giving it the air of a melancholy B-side to what's come before.
The film is entertaining and discreetly sentimental, though perhaps a little too flattering to the fantasies of the young adult audience.
