لمحة عن هذا الفيلم

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 mouthwatering confections that almost magically inspire the straitlaced 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 recognize her own desires!

Everyone in town is quite plain, depressed and drab until a feisty young chocolate maker and her daughter move in and stir up a whirlwind of fun, trouble, and imaginative ways to make everyone happy. A gripping drama and a fantastically funny film. A must see for all fans of a terrific stoty.

This movie scores on all levels - a great escape flick, a flick to make you think about how people are treated differently for "not following the norm" in a town and it's a great feel-good message and movie. The cast is PHENOMENAL. Lasse Halstrom is an Excellent Director and the Producers are excellent as well. Well-written, great story lines, interesting characters - great score, too!!! This movie has it all but gratuitous sex and violence. The only violent scene is relevant to the character's story line and doesn't last very long at all.

One of the best movies I have seen. The Catholic Church came down heavily on this movie since the heroine openly defies the Church's dogma concerning Lent, when she opens a chocolate shop, on Lent. Trouble ensues. A must-see. Excellent acting by a stellar crew.
