Cohen Media Group will add to its Blu-ray catalog director Claude Chabrol's Merci pour le chocolat a.k.a. Nightcap (2000), starring Isabelle Huppert, Jacques Dutronc, Anna Mouglalis, Rodolphe Pauly, Mathieu Simonet, and Michel Robin. The release will be available for purchase on September 30th.
Synopsis: 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. Chabrol, the most Hitchcockian of the New Wave directors, has fashioned a delectable psychological thriller, dipped in darkest Swiss chocolate.
