MERCI POUR LE CHOCOLAT, his 48th feature film, is vintage Chabrol: intricate plots wend their way through the elegant homes of several well-heeled French-Swiss, in the environs of Lausanne, Switzerland. Isabelle Huppert stars as Mika, the couture-attired, oh-so-perfect head of a company that manufactures Swiss chocolate; Jacques Dutronc is Andre, her suave, concert pianist husband whose first wife died years ago in a mysterious car accident. When a beautiful young woman unexpectedly enters Mika and Ander's life, long-held secrets are revealed and facades fall away.
"Isabelle Huppert has the best poker face since Buster Keaton. She faces the camera with detached regard, inviting us to imagine what she is thinking." -- Roger Ebert, THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
