Movie description
The disastrous effects of French colonialism are examined through the paradigm of a young girl's coming of age in French West Africa in Claire Denis' astonishing first film. As France, a woman traveling alone in Cameroon, slips into a dreamy and distant flashback, scenes of a makeshift existence come into focus. France's father, a district governor, and her fragile mother are living a relatively peaceful if somewhat strained existence when a plane carrying a gaggle of French imperialists and their entourage makes an emergency landing near their house. An ex-priest, a white plantation owner and his African concubine, and a newlywed couple are forced to stay with the family. The convergence of this motley crew forces tensions and troubles that were bubbling barely below the surface to silently erupt. Sexual tensions, as well as social and class struggles, explode, with expansive vistas of Cameroon as an astonishing yet innocent backdrop. The heat, the landscape, and the underlying and eroticized tension converge as the noble and austere houseboy, Protee, becomes the focus of France's memories and regrets.

This was director Claire Denis's first feature film. He formerly worked as an assistant to German director Wim Wenders, whose production company partially funded CHOCOLAT.

This also was the first independent film supported by producers Gerard Crosnier and Alain Belmondo (actor Jean-Paul Belmondo's brother).  

This story is based on Denis's childhood memories.

The subtitles are in yellow for easy legibility.

Editorial reviews
"...Some kind of miniature classic....[Denis] is astonishing...[and] CHOCOLAT is among the best..."
Canby 

"...[Denis] treasures the elliptical and the allusive....CHOCOLAT is a film of some subtlety. It has good, even memorable moments to it, and it's beautiful looking..."
Los Angeles Times - Sheila Benson (04/20/1989)

Chocolat

"Erotic, sophisticated, and distinctive" (L.A. Weekly), this enthralling depiction of a family's struggle during the final years of French colonialism in Africa takes a profound look at the intricate nature of relationships in a racist society. A story of exclusions, betrayals and agonizing compromises, this "remarkable and quietly devastating" (The Boston Globe) film is truly "extraordinary" (Interview). Curious and observant seven-year-old France spends her days amidst the paradise of her family's estate. But behind the household's exterior beauty lies growing hostility brought on by France's always-traveling father, her bored, frustrated mother, the noble, intelligent house "boy" who suffers the indignities of his status in silence. But when a plane makes an emergency landing nearby, bringing a motley collection of characters to the house, the heavenly facade soon begins to unravel. And a shocking explosion of rage, racism and forbidden passion threatens tear apart the family forever!
