CHOCOLAT (2000) is a romance film directed by Lasse Hallstrom and is based on the novel by the same name written by Joanne Harris. Starring Juliette Binoche as Vianne Rocher, a young single mother, the story revolves around her and her six-year-old daughter as they try to adjust their lives in a small and conservative town of rural France. Having opened a chocolate shop during Lent, they’re initially met with skepticism and resistance. But they gradually make room for themselves in the hearts of the people. The film also stars Johnny Depp but is a minor role. The plot is simple yet executed in an effective manner. Nothing exclusive or extraordinary about the movie, but still manages to hold the attention of the audience with its smooth course of action and dialogue, and most definitely its mouth watering chocolates. The film’s tagline-one taste is all it takes- is true to its word.
