Review of Chocolat (2000) by Ra'ad A — 15 Dec 2009
Townspeople's lives begin to change under the influence of a woman who opens a small chocolaterie in a repressed French village. Beautiful production values and sophisticated score highlight this engrossing fairy tale come to life.
Additionally the superlative performances by the cast go a long way into making this film so enchanting. Occasionally the script's negative view of religion as a means to manipulate people's behavior, can be awfully preachy.
However, more often than not, the story is a delightful confection that will make you smile.
