Chocolat (Miramax Collector's Series)

It was a great movie to watch with someone else enjoying it along side with you. It is a couple's style movie with a happy ending. It is not an action guy flick, but is great for couples because it has a relationship twist that overcomes a mythical theme and conflicts in a quaint French village. It builds tension in the story plot where as one would start to hate one of the character for their actions and favor the main character for being a strong willed person who decided not to give up. The back story on the DVD was also great to review to learn about how they made the movie and how if affected the actors. I lost count how many time I saw the movie over a week's time. I would move this up to one of my five top five movie picks that I enjoy.

I absolutely love this unique and wonderful story. The acting is great. The story is a modern day fairytale if you like good writing and directing you will like this movie.the story is engaging humorous yet deep.

When chocolate making harmonizes with our passions, and the chocolate maker is Juliette Binoche, total success and delight are inevitable.
While awakening passion in everybody's life in a small village, Binoche faces the classic struggle between being true to one's self and following what is supposedly the righteous way forced on us by others.
Each character in the movie is a forceful presence and each plays an important role in this wonderful story. The short appearances by Johnny Depp ignites a fascinating emotional spark between a noble man and the family of a single charismatic woman and her smart daughter.

This movie is magical. The dialogue is perfect and sounds like someone reading a book aloud. It certainly has a romantic element though it is not trite or overly sentimental and quite original. I would definitely say it is a must watch for anyone who enjoys good movies &/or a good book!

Just like the parfection named in this film's title, the entire story and production is a "taste treat!" Every role seems to be played by the perfect actor. A delicious delite!
