Monday Night Movie: "Julie & Julia"

Darien Library presents a new weekly program: Monday Night at the Movies!

In honor of our Summer Reading Challenge, this week we are showing “Julie & Julia.” 

“A culinary legend provides a frustrated office worker with a new recipe for life in 'Julie & Julia,' the true stories of how Julia Child's (Meryl Streep) life and cookbook inspired fledgling writer Julie Powell (Amy Adams) to whip up 524 recipes in 365 days and introduce a new generation to the magic of French cooking. Stanley Tucci (The Devil Wears Prada) co-stars in director Nora Ephron's delicious comedy about joy, obsession and butter. Bon appétit!”– Sony Pictures
