Moët & Chandon Excellence Award to Giancarlo Giannini

Last night, I had another amazing night at the Festival del Film in Locarno!
Unbelievable but the rain stayed away last night..or at least to let us enjoy the movie in the wonderful Piazza Grande without having to get our rain coats out!
The night started off with Moët & Chandon awarding Italian actor Giancarlo Giannini with an Excellence Award for his brilliant career. Christelle Huwiler from Moët & Chandon Suisse gave him the prize on stage last night . I was so thrilled I was able to interview Giancarlo Giannini today and it will soon be on my blog!












After the ceremony it was time for the movie, which last night was The Hundred Foot Journey, directed by Lasse Hallström. A tragedy causes the Kadam family to move to France from India. They end up in a small village in France where Madame Mallory, owner of a Michelin star restaurant just across the street from the family Indian restaurant will start a daily battle between the two restaurants.
Rivalry will soon turn into friendship as they start to appreciate each other's culture and cuisine.
I really enjoyed the film full of fun, food and romance, a pleasure to watch and once again the atmosphere of the Piazza.. It is really amazing to watch a movie on such a beautiful location!
