English title: Bed and Board.
Faithful title translation: Conjugal Abode.
Antoine is married to Christine. She gets pregnant. He gets a better job. His son is born. He has an affair.
Quirky dramatic comedy with a main theme -- the day-to-day mechanics of marriage -- which perhaps is meant to disguise under its banality a supposedly secondary -- and arguably more polemic -- one: interracial relationships. The main thesis seems to be that such relationships have a traplike nature: attraction is greater, but disillusionment is in the same proportion. The film, written by three hands, is funny, at times in an outrageous fashion -- take, for examples, the jobs held by the protagonist.
