A richly textured comic fable that blends Old World wisdom with a winking, timely commentary on the assumed moral superiority of the political right.
Full reviewFrench-set romantic fable starring Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche, from the director of What's Eating Gilbert Grape. A mother and daughter move to a small French town where they open a chocolate shop. The town, religious and morally strict, is against them as they represent free-thinking and indulgence. When a group of Boat Gypsies floats down the river, the prejudices of the Mayor lead to a crisis.
