In the film Chocolat, which actress plays the chocolatier Vianne Rocher?

Juliette Binoche plays the chocolatier Vianne Rocher in the film Chocolat.

Directed by Lasse Hallström, Chocolat was released in 2000 and adapted from Joanne Harris’s 1999 novel. Binoche portrays Vianne, a woman who opens a chocolate shop in a small, traditionally minded French village during Lent. Her arrival challenges local social expectations and changes relationships within the community.

The film also stars Johnny Depp as Roux and Judi Dench as Armande Voizin. It was filmed largely in the English language despite its French setting and was nominated for several Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Chocolat uses chocolate as both food and a symbol of pleasure, choice, and social change. It is sometimes confused with the 1988 Danish film Chocolate or with unrelated films whose titles refer to cocoa. The 2000 film’s Vianne is specifically played by Juliette Binoche.
