Bed and Board feels like a Wes Anderson rom-com 20some years before Wes Anderson. A bizarre, subtle (maybe the right word is dry) comedy about two weird sweet people. Truffaut makes the easiest shots so much more interesting and entertaining than they should be.

Jean-Pierre Léaud is funny and he does nothing, Claude Jade is great and too beautiful to be real.
And as man usually does, he'd rather be with a hooker than change for the woman he loves.

I'm waiting to see if it becomes one of my favorites to give that last half star.

Philip Seymour Hoffman deserved an oscar for pretty much every movie he starred in. This might be his best perfomance.
Scarily depressing, beautiful and pretty damn weird. Masterpiece.
