Showing at The State Theater May 5, 2011
'Chocolat' showing at the State Theater on Thursday, May 5, 2011 at 7:00pm.
Sponsored by the Sweet Boutique of Downtown Bay City.
Driven by fate, Vianne (Binoche) drifts into a tranquil French village with her daughter Anouk (Victoire Thivisol, from Ponette) in the winter of 1959.
Her newly opened chocolatier 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.
Splendid subplots involve a battered wife (Lena Olin), a village elder (Judi Dench), and her estranged daughter (Carrie-Anne Moss), and while the film's broader strokes may be regrettable, its subtleties are often sublime. Chocolat reminds you of life's simple pleasures and invites you to enjoy them.
