CHOCOLAT was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack Album For A Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media.
The soundtrack to Lasse Hallstrom's ode to the life-affirming qualities of the sweet brown stuff begins with a Django Reinhardt-composed romp that sets the tone for the rest of the album. There's something of a raffish, gypsy feel nestling among the soaring strings, no doubt echoing the presence of Johnny Depp's roguish character in the movie.
Mostly though, the soundtrack is imbued with the sepia tints of a more innocent time, when a moribund society could be brought back to life by mere confectionery. CHOCOLAT's theme is sprightly and flexible enough to be effective in the variety of settings displayed here. Duke Ellington and Juan Tizol's "Caravan," performed in an ad hoc style with acoustic guitars and a variety of percussion, provides a suitable finale.
Original score commposed by Rachel Portman.

A wonderful CD. Got one for myself and one for a friend's birthday, who's a judge that listens and plays classic rock and roll. He was as impressed as I. It's not the typical kind of music I'd buy for myself. Haven't pulled it out of the cd player since I got it. The kids even enjoy it. A bit of classical mixed with a bit of latin guitar and maybe a touch of irish or spanish music. Try it, you'll be glad you did.

This is by far one of the best CD's I have purchased. The movie is outstanding, and the music just a reminder of a film that is just as much of a treat as a cup of hot chocolate. I love it.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Sweet and spicy
There are motion picture soundtracks which offer track after track of unremarkable classical monotony... You know the kind I'm talking about. This is not one of them! Chocolat is luscious from beginning to end, like a cup of hot chocolate with a pinch of chili pepper. "It'll give you a lift."
