This is the fourth installment in Truffaut pentalogy regarding of "Antoine Doinel's" life. As i have read, Doinel was something like his alter ego. For reference, these are my previous ratings :
THE 400 BLOWS : 6,3/10.
Antoine et Colette: 7,2/10.
Baisers volés : 7,1/10
It's obvious i consider it as the worst movie of this pentalogy. To be honest, i have not watched any movie of his which blew my mind. I don't doubt his greatness, it's just my personal tastes and preferences. AMERICAN NIGHT is my favourite movie of his.
Still, it's somewhat enjoyable, chemistry between the leading couple is good and it didn't bore me. However, i couldn't stand this Doinel character here. He became disgusting. Too much insolence and self obsession. Imagine a Woody Allen character without charm, a character that doesn't care at all about everyone's opinion. Still neurotic but not attractively neurotic. This is Doinel in BED AND BOARD. It's a totally forgettable movie, there is nothing clever/charming/witty here.
I gave it 6 stars because it is well directed, actors are good and at times, it was interesting.
