Merci Pour le Chocolat (2000, FRA/SUI) C-99m. *** D: Claude Chabrol. Starring Isabelle Huppert, Jacques Dutronc, Anna Mouglalis, Rodolphe Pauly, Brigitte Catillon, Isolde Barth. At 70 director Chabrol proves he is still in great form making his bourgeois crime dramas. Young Mouglalis learns that she may have been mixed up with another baby on the day of her birth and finds out her possible father is a concert pianist - like herself! She befriends the family, unknowing that they have a dark secret to protect. Good, thoughtful direction by Chabrol, well-acted by the entire cast, an unusual story adapted from Charlotte Armstrong's The Chocolat Cobweb. Chabrol had filmed an Armstrong novel before in LA RUPTURE (1970). English title: NIGHTCAP.
