Review of Chocolat (2000) by Oxana . — 06 Aug 2009
I have no idea what's so fascinating and utterly brilliant about this movie, but... it is. I don't usually enjoy films like this, but I have to admit, I like watching this from time to time.
A touching, serene movie celebrating life and its mysteries. The slow, deliberate change Vianne makes in her surroundings with her silent, kind rebellion is absolutely thrilling and wonderful to watch; her struggle to change yet another stuck-up society into something less rigid and more open and honest.
The characters are interesting. Each of them have their own perks and stories to tell. The actors are well-chosen, fitting their parts perfectly.
All in all, the world of "Chocolat" it a mystical one. The colors, the dialogue, the myth of the clever north wind... It all adds up to one perfectly balanced, mystical movie - one that you shouldn't watch if you're hungry, or have a craving for chocolate when you don't have any nearby!
