Chocolat
2000, 117 minutes, Rated M
In the small French village of Lansquenet where life has remained the same for 100 years, the wind of change is about to sweep through it, altering it forever...
Free-spirited wanderer, Vianne Rocher has arrived with her daughter to set up a chocolaterie during the Lenten period of abstinence. Her arrival is frowned upon by some locals but to others, her presence is life-changing. Somehow, almost magically, her delectable treats are tantalising more than just tastebuds - they are curing lost hopes, awakening unexpected passions and fulfilling unspoken desires.
From acclaimed film-maker Lasse Hallstrom (The Cider House Rules, My Life As A Dog) comes the most sweetly surprising film of the year. Nominated for 5 Academy Awards, and starring Juliette Binoche (The English Patient), Judi Dench (Shakespeare in Love) and Johnny Depp (Blow), Chocolat is the most delicious comic fable - a celebration of difference and a feast for the senses.
