Chocolat
2000
****
Director: Lasse Hallström
Cast: Juliette Binoche, Johnny Depp, Alfred Molina, Lena Olin, Judi Dench

A delightful romantic morality tale about a free spirited woman whose new chocolaterie in an uptight French village stirs up emotions in the late 1950s. It's all very light-weight but it's almost impossible not to be taken over by this well-acted fluff. Based on a novel by Joanne Harris.
