Chocolat (1988) Movie Reviews

Cast: Cecile Ducasse, Isaach De Bankole, Giulia Boschi, Francois Cluzet

Director: Claire Denis

Rating: PG13

Running Time: 105 min.

Synopsis: Set in French Colonial Africa, Chocolat is told from the viewpoint of 8-year-old Cecile Ducasse. With no other frame of reference, the innocent Ducasse accepts the subjugation of the black natives by the white colonists as the natural order of things. The girl grows gradually aware of the social iniquities about her, but only in retrospect (the film is related in flashback, narrated by the grown-up heroine) does she fully realize just how cruel and wrong-headed the entire colonial system had been.
