	Actors - Chocolat

Chocolat is a 2000 movie based on the novel Chocolat by Joanne Harris. It tells the story of a young mother (Vianne Rocher, played by Juliette Binoche) who arrives at a fictional oppressed French village (Lansquenet-sous-Tannes) with her six-year-old daughter (Anouk) and opens La Céleste Praline, a small chocolaterie. Vianne's chocolate quickly begins to change the lives of the townspeople.

The movie was filmed in the village of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain in Burgundy, France.

Overview

Driven by fate, Vianne drifts into a tranquil French village with her daughter Anouk (Victoire Thivisol, from Ponette) in the winter of 1959. Her newly opened chocolatérie is a source of attraction and fear, since Vianne's ability to revive the villagers' passions threatens to disrupt their repressive traditions. The pious mayor (Alfred Molina) sees Vianne as the enemy, and his war against her peaks with the arrival of "river rats" led by Roux (Depp), whose attraction to Vianne is immediate and reciprocal. Subplots involve a battered wife (Lena Olin), a village elder (Judi Dench), and her estranged daughter (Carrie-Anne Moss).
