About this product

Product Information

Lasse Hallstrom's CHOCOLAT is set in the late 1950s, but it might as well be the late 1850s in a small French town where everyone behaves as they should (supposedly), and attends church regularly. When a strong north wind blows through town, it brings the vivacious and mysterious Vianne (Juliette Binoche) and her young daughter, Anouk (Victoire Thivisol). Vianne--an unwed mother who declines to go to church and opens up a chocolate shop in the midst of Lent--is soon the talk of the town. Her good-natured, honorable personality and psychic ability (she can predict what kind of sweets best suit each person, and magically cures each of them of their particular maladies) make her as irresistible as her delectable treats. However, Vianne and her daughter are resented by the conservative mayor, the Comte de Reynaud (Alfred Molina), and by the pious Caroline (Carrie-Anne Moss), who has disowned her own spirited mother (Judi Dench, who plays Vianne's landlady), refusing the elderly woman access to her beloved grandson.This touching fairy tale, based on the novel by Joanne Harris, was filmed on location in rural France. An intelligent, exquisitely filmed fable that deals with the idea of 20th century paganism rising up against a closed-minded church and a persevering aristocracy, CHOCOLAT is enjoyable, romantic, and entertaining, with affecting performances by both its stars and its supporting actors (Lena Olin and Johnny Depp.)

Reviews
Sight and Sound - ...A radiant central performance from Juliette Binoche and appealing supporting turns from Judi Dench and Johnny Depp....The film is beautifully shot..., Entertainment Weekly - ...As fudge-y as advertised....[Binoche is] luscious..., Total Film - ...[CHOCOLAT has] many pleasures. It's often very funny and the town looks a treat, a sort of Neverneverland that lends the movie a fairytale quality...

    as it has lovely (johnny d) in it, it has to be worthy of watching

    even though lovely (johnny) isn't in the film for that long, which is usually (my) main reason for watching this type of film, it is still very interesting, a enjoyable story line, with a reasonably happy style of ending. Some, might find it a little offbeat, in places, and even though there is a child in the plot, it is really for adults, (I) believe, isn't the type of film that 'dwells on the mind' once it is over, worth watching.

  • Great family film

    I love watching this film over & over again. It has a fantastic cast of Juliette Binoche, Judi Dench, Alfred Molina, Lena Olin & Johnny Depp. The story is about Vianne who with her daughter move to a quiet village in France & open a chocolate shop. She creates mouth-watering confectionery that has the puritanical villagers giving in to happiness & temptation. The Mayor is outraged & wants rid of Vianne & her shop. There is a man who beats & scolds his wife who Vianne takes in & teaches her how to make the luscious chocolate & she reunites a boy with his grandmother against his mother's wishes. Gypsies arrive & Vianne falls under the spell of Roux. A brief affair happens until tragedy strikes. One night the Mayor gives into temptation & can't get enough of the chocolate. Just lik

  • Great Movie - Excellent Cast

    Single mum Vianne arrives in an old-fashioned French town and opens up a chocolate shop during Lent. Soon she's the talk of the town. She creates mouth-watering confections that tempt the stuffy villagers and make them happy. Then the handsome Roux arrives and Vianne can recognise her own desires! A great cast with many famous faces.

  • Enjoyable and arrived quickly.

    Enjoyable film. Being used as a base for a Lent study group. Worth a second viewing. Particularly with some good chocolate and a glass of wine
