Product Description
Amazon.ca
Il y a bien longtemps, dans un petit village du cœur de la France; la vie s'écoule paisiblement, et ce depuis des siècles, jusqu'à l'arrivée d'une mystérieuse jeune femme, Vianne Rocher, qui ouvre une chocolaterie. Elle semble posséder le don de deviner les désirs cachés de ses clients et de les assouvir avec ses mystérieuses recettes. Tous sauf un, l'aristocratique comte de Reynaud, qui voit dans ces chocolats une menace pour l'ordre et la moralité… Toujours à l'aise dans les épopées sentimentales hors du temps, Lasse Halström nous emmène cette fois-ci dans l'univers des sens, et plus particulièrement dans celui du goût : les chocolats de Vianne ont des propriétés quasiment surnaturelles, et cette parabole sur l'amour et la tolérance de prendre un aspect plutôt inhabituel et agréablement surprenant, interprété par Juliette Binoche et Johnny Depp, très convaincants. À réserver toutefois aux amateurs de chocolat, dont l'omniprésence sur l'écran en fait littéralement l'acteur principal ! --David Rault

A beautifully whimsical story by a slate of perfectly-cast actors in an unbelievably idyllic setting. My wife and I have watched this so many times and have never tired of the wide range of good feelings that come from the story. This is a wonderful humanitarian feel-good movie with some deep hidden messages that show humanity at its best and worst.

Significant upgrade over the regular dvd, eye popping details and very good sound. Very good buy.
By Cathy Holman
This is one of my favourite movies and I've been trying to get a copy for many years. Amazing to me that it hasn't been available in video stores. So happy to get one, finally, via Amazon but not quite so happy once I'd received it. It stalls about 2/3 of the way through and the only way to get it unstalled is to rewind and then forward again. Annoying to say the least! The movie itself is fantastic. It's only the mechanics of the DVD that is annoying.

Chocolat - the best all the way
This is still the best movie (of all times). I re-discovered this movie, after I lost my original copy. When I saw it again, it's like I got into this world of fantasy. Read more

Sensuality at its peak ... for a foodie
Beautiful movie, shows the power food can have on the human spirit. Chocolate especially. Juliette Binoche as beautiful and sensual as ever. A must see.

Are you kidding?!!!
A Hollywood production trying to pass itself off as a foreign film. The most annoying thing about the film was that it took place in a french speaking Swiss town, but everyone... Read more

A PLEASANT CONFECTION...
This is a pleasant, though obvious, adult fable, broadly hinting at the often sensual, restorative, and mystical properties of chocolate. Read more
