Chocolat
One taste is all it takes.
Directed by Lasse Hallström
Produced by Miramax, David Brown Productions
A warm, visually sumptuous celebration of nonconformity and sensual pleasure that gently challenges rigid tradition through the transformative power of chocolate and human connection.
In the winter of 1959, a single mother and her young daughter arrive in a rural French town, where they open an unusual chocolate shop that disrupts the moral fiber of the strictly Catholic townsfolk and mayor.
