Bed and Board by François Truffaut

Category: Non-English

Bed & Board is another return to his favorite character - Antoine Doinel. After having finally met the girl of his dreams - Christine in Stolen Dreams. This time Antoine moves away from being a Florist to working for an American Hydraulics company based in Paris. He meets a Japanese lady and gleefully worlds in love with the world she brings. Changes, variety.

Before all of this though he has a child and while his wife is bummed out initally she eventually figures out what to do. They split and Antoine must now spend time with his new found love.

There's plenty of architecture on display in the film, John Ford, shots at the army and plenty of literary references keep this film highly riveting for most fans of the new wave. I am not sure how the peasants would react.

Recommendation level: 4.5/5 - Yeah, the bar has become so tight, you're not going to see stupid films get a higher rating! Do yourself a favor and watch this movie, well before that do yourself a favor and watch the previous chronicles
