Claire Denis directed Chocolate and Isaach de Bankole, Giula Boschi, François Cluzet, Jean-Claude Adelin give subtle and thoughtful performances.  It is set in Cameroon and is the tale of a young girl and her African friend.

Lasse Halstrom's "Chocolat" is a piece of confectionary.  A tale of a magical chocolate maker, her daughter and the divine presence of Johnny Depp in another well-judged performance.  Light and diverting.
