Tuesday, February 14 at 7:30pm Members $10 / Public $15 / Includes Reception
CHOCOLAT Based on the novel by Joanne Harris Starring Juliette Binoche, Johnny Depp, Alfred Molina,Judi Dench Nominated for Five Academy Awards, including Best Picture In 1959, a mysterious woman named Vianne (Juliette Binoche) moves with her young daughter into a small French village, where much of the community's activities are dominated by the local Catholic church. A few days after settling into town, Vianne opens up a confectionery shop across the street from the house of worship -- shortly after the beginning of Lent. While the townspeople are supposed to be abstaining from worldly pleasures, Vianne tempts them with unusual and delicious chocolate creations, using her expert touch to create just the right candy to break down each customer's resistance. But the Comte de Reynaud (Alfred Molina), the town's mayor, is not the least bit amused; he is eager to see Vianne run out of town before she leads the town into a deeper level of temptation. Vianne, however, is not to be swayed, and with the help of another new arrival in town, a handsome Irish Gypsy named Roux (Johnny Depp), she plans a "Grand Festival of Chocolate," to be held on Easter Sunday. USA/France, 2000, 121 min.; Directed by Lasse Hallström
