And the Catholic Church gets raked over the coals in ways that are not at all entirely justified. Some viewers may see homosexual undertones between Vianne and Josephine, the aforementioned battered wife. One character's abusive husband gets violent at one point, trying to kill Vianne and his wife. But the movie also condones premarital sex (Vianne has had at least two encounters, and doesn't know the identity of her little girl's dad), drinking and smoking, and worship of fertility goddesses. However, on the way to finding joy, the parishioners of Vianne's town seem content to leave morality completely in the dust. The village priest, Pere Henri, could've been made into a villain, but he too is a caring man who wants to teach parishioners to embrace a God of love and joy. She also reaches out to help the vulnerable, including a battered wife, whom she takes in, and her crotchety, yet endearing landlady. Her mission is to help, not hurt, and that even extends to her greatest enemy. On the positive side, Vianne is a creative, sanguine, non-judgmental soul who does bring much-needed warmth to her legalistic French village. This flick should be nibbled by anyone under 15-16, and only tasted with a discriminating palate even for adults. But if you're not careful, it can make you ill. Chocolat is, well, like a box of rich truffles. ![]()
