CHOCOLAT!!

AH I DO LOVE CHOCOLAT......YES, ALWAYS HAVE FROM A CHILD, SO NOT SURPRISING I'VE HAD IT ON A SOMEWHAT REGULAR BASIS ALL MY LIFE.

IT GOES BACK FOR CENTURIES, THEY SAY THE MAZTECK OF SOUTH AMERICA ENJOYED IT FREQUENTLY.

THE COCA BEAN, MANY IN THE WORLD HAVE ENJOYED IT FOR CENTURIES.

SAW THE MOVIE "CHOCOLAT" MANY YEARS AGO - THINK IT CAME OUT ABOUT 2000.

JUST BOUGHT THE DVD IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND FINISHED WATCHING IT AGAIN, MOST OF IT FULLY FORGOTTEN, SO LIKE WATCHING A BRAND NEW MOVIE.

IT'S HEART-TOUCHING, FUNNY IN PARTS, TENDER IN OTHER PARTS, AND A MOVIE THAT SOFTENS THE MIND OF MAY MISINFORMED ..... TO THE POINT WHERE CHOCOLAT IS A SIN.

THE MAIN STAR IS JULIETTE BINOCHE - MOST FITTING FOR HER ROLE. THEN THERE IS JUDI DENCH, NOW OF THE 007 FAME AS "M" - ALSO ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR PRESENT DAY ACTORS - JOHONNY DEPP, AND WE GET TO SEE A LITTLE OF HIS ABILITY TO PLAY THE GUITAR VERY WELL.

ON THE BACK COVER:

"Chololat is the beautiful and captivating comedy (really more than a comedy - Keith Hunt) ......Nobody would have imagined the impast that the striking Vianne (Binoche) would make when she arrives in a tranquil, old-fashioned French town. In her very unusual chocolat shop, Vianne begins to create mouth-watering confections that almost magically inspire the straightlaced villagers to abandon themselves to temptation and happiness! But it is not until another stranger, the handsome Roux (Depp) arrives in town that Vianne is finally able to recognize her own desires!"

"Delicious!" - Good Morning America

"Magical!" - Rex Reed, The New York Observer

It was given 5 Academy Award Nominations

"One of the Best Pictures of the Year" - said the Los Angeles Times when it came out.

YES A DELIGHTFUL MOVIE - PUT IT ON YOUR LIST TO WATCH.
