| | Bed And Board - QUOTES | | | | | | | | "I can't help believing that François 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." - Vincent Canby, The New York times
"..a disarming, charming pic" - Variety Magazine
"..one of the most decent and loving films I can remember." - Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times | | | | | | | | | | | | From the Film | | | | | | | | Christine Doinel: Virgin at twenty. I was a living anachronism, a real creep! Christine Doinel: I don't like this business of writing about your childhood, dragging your parents through the mud. I don't know much, but one thing I do know - if you use art to settle accounts, it's no longer art. Christine Doinel: Oh, my poor breasts. If I have a child, I won't breast-feed him. Antoine Doinel: Well, don't look at me. He'll have to fend for himself. Christine Doinel: Do what you have to do, but let me be. I'm not proud and never have been, so I can tell you: I still love you. But I'd rather not see you anymore. |
