Caroline later reveals to Vianne that her mother is a diabetic, though Armande continues to eat the chocolate despite her condition.
Vianne arranges for Luc and his grandmother to see each other in the chocolaterie, where they develop a close bond. Having lost her husband, Caroline is overly protective of Luc and does not even want her son to play. Armande is unhappy that her cold, devoutly pious daughter Caroline ( Carrie-Anne Moss) will not let her see her grandson Luc because Caroline thinks Armande is a "bad influence". One of the first to fall under the spell of Vianne and her confections is Armande ( Judi Dench), her elderly, eccentric landlady. The Comte will not admit that his wife has left him. Reynaud speaks out against her for tempting the people during a time of abstinence and self-denial. With her friendly and alluring nature, she begins to make headway with some of the villagers. She does not fit in well with the townspeople but is nevertheless optimistic about her business.
Vianne wears more colourful clothing than the village women, does not ascribe to religious convention, and has an illegitimate child. Just as the villagers begin observing the 40 days of Lent, Vianne opens a chocolate shop, much to Reynaud's displeasure. In 1959, they travel to a quiet French village that closely adheres to tradition, as dominated by the village mayor, the Comte de Reynaud ( Alfred Molina). Vianne Rocher ( Juliette Binoche), an expert chocolatier and her six-year-old daughter Anouk ( Victoire Thivisol), drift across Europe following the north wind. Binoche won the European Film Award for Best Actress for her performance, while Dench was awarded a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2001. It received five nominations at the 73rd Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The film garnered a number of accolades, including many for its screenplay, direction, acting, and music. Critics gave the drama positive reviews, praising its acting performances, its screenplay and Rachel Portman's score. The film began a limited release in the United States on December 22, 2000, and went on general release on January 19, 2001. Soon, she and her chocolate influence the lives of the townspeople of this repressed French community in different and interesting ways. Adapted by screenwriter Robert Nelson Jacobs, Chocolat tells the story of Vianne Rocher, played by Juliette Binoche, who arrives in the fictional French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes at the beginning of Lent with her six-year-old daughter, Anouk. Chocolat ( French pronunciation: ) is a 2000 romantic comedy-drama film based on the 1999 novel Chocolat by the English author, Joanne Harris.
