Claude Jade (playing Doinel&#8217;s wife, Christine) finally emerges as a complex character in this film &#8212; we believe in her character&#8217;s growth from fun-loving teenager to loyal housewife and mother, and feel for her when Doinel knowingly harms their relationship. Because Truffaut chooses to frame Doinel&#8217;s affair in a humorous light, it&#8217;s genuinely amusing to watch (there are several hilarious moments involving the inscrutable Mademoiselle Hiroko); but this approach fails to acknowledge the seriousness of Doinel&#8217;s lapse in judgment. <em>Bed and Board<\/em> is a satisfying, enjoyable film in many ways, but frustrating as well, with the ending too neatly a figment of Truffaut&#8217;s wishful thinking about women and their tolerance for immature men. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Claude Jade&#8217;s appealing performance as Christine<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bed-and-Board-Christine.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bed-and-Board-Christine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-62488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bed-and-Board-Christine.jpg 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bed-and-Board-Christine-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bed-and-Board-Christine-128x72.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bed-and-Board-Christine-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bed-and-Board-Christine-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Nestor Almendros&#8217;
