Chocolat (2000)
Movie
Released
Chocolate-making turns a rigid French town into a place where pleasure can become an act of resistance. The tactile shop and communal rituals make it appealing with something warm to eat nearby. Domestic abuse, intolerance and death are part of the story, so this is comforting in its sympathies rather than free of painful material.
