Review

 

Nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress (Juliet Binoche), and Best Supporting Actress (Judi Dench), 'Chocolat' is the beautiful and captivating comedy from the acclaimed director of 'The Cider House Rules'.

Nobody could have imagined the impact that the striking Vianne (Binoche) would make when she arrived in a tranquil, old-fashioned French town. In her very unusual chocolate shop, Vianne begins to create mouth-watering confections that almost magically inspire the straight-laced villagers to abandon themselves to temptation and happiness. But it is not until another stranger, the handsome Roux (Johnny Depp), arrives in town that Vianne is finally able to recognise her own desires.

I read the book to this film when I was about 14 and couldn't wait for the film. When it came out I realised that the only thing the two really had in common was the name.
The film is an incredable movie set in france and centers around Vianne and her daughter. It is about a small town that is not big on change and how one simple change can set off a chain reaction.
Johnny Depp has the most appaling Irish accent I have ever heard, but that can be overlooked because he is gorgeous in the film.
The legendary Judi Dench is in danger of stealing the show in every scene and the acting is fantastic.
It's a story of change, hope, courage, breaking boundries, defying sterotypes and mixing tradition with new ideas. It's worth a look and I loved it.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Simply delicious

Quite good.Although the only reason i bought it was because Johnny Depp was in it .But he was only in the last part.So if you are looking to buy this because it has him in it.Don't. Apart from that its quite good. And i learnt a bit of french :]
