| | Review of Chocolat: Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02) |
 | | The cast includes a major French star, an eccentric American expatriate, an English-theater dowager, a Spanish-Italian Englishman, a rising Canadian actress with TV credits in Spain and a pair of the director's countrymen, including his wife. |
 | | "Chocolat" takes place in a handsome, but strange French village, the fictional Lansquenet, supposedly provincial but seemingly more international than Tangiers. |
 | | At times, "Chocolat" archly administers an overdose of whimsical irony, but it also bubbles with bewitching effervescence. |
