February Meeting:
Chocolat
and a Review by Leonard Peikoff
At our February meeting, we
will watch Chocolat, a movie about a
woman who opens a chocolate shop in a small French village and stirs up
moral rigidity of the community. We will also listen to a review of the
movie by Leonard Peikoff.
Chocolat
stars Juliette Binoche as Vianne Rocher, an outsider who wins over the
townspeople with her delicious chocolates and warm personality, while
antagonizing the mayor and the church over her apparent lack of good
morals. She adds to the distress by taking up with a river drifter,
played by Johnny Depp. The romantic drama also stars Judi Dench, Lena
Olin, and Carrie-Anne Moss.
We will also listen to an audiotape of Leonard
Peikoff’s review of the movie, which aired on the Andrew Lewis Show in
March 2001. This broadcast was from the 100th Radio Show
Special, which featured both Leonard and Amy Peikoff as guests. Visit www.alshow.com
for more info about the radio program.
Join us on Saturday, February
15, at the home of Joy & Jeff Kiviat, for a movie that pits those who
follow the ways of the past with those who discovered the taste for
pleasure. We will also have plenty of snacks and a discussion of the
review. Call (314) 469-2723 for directions or more information.

Jeff’s house in West St. Louis County. They will be moving to Glen
Carbon, Illinois in March. Make sure you are there, since we will make a
