Monday Night Movie: "Chocolat"

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

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

“Nobody could have imagined the impact that Vianne would make when she arrived in a tranquil, old-fashioned French town. In her very unusual chocolate shop, she creates mouth-watering confections that almost magically inspire the straitlaced villagers to abandon themselves to temptation and happiness. When a handsome Irish Roma arrives in town, Vianne is finally able to recognize her own desires.”– Miramax
