Domicile conjugal

a film by François Truffaut

Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud) is now happily married to Christine (Claude Jade), however his affair with Kyoko (Hiroko Matsumoto) is about to destroy the idyll.

Unlike Les quatre cents coups, this 1970 film is a pretty light-hearted comedy. There are some conspicuous similarities between Domicile conjugal and Bergman’s 1973 film Scenes from a Marriage (Bergman and Truffaut admired each other).

This was the fourth instalment of Las cinco edades de Antoine Doinel. Alas, I missed the third one!
