Chocolat Religion & Film Kilbridge
Background • Setting: Small town in France in the late1950s marked by tranquilite. • Characters: • Comte de Reynaud, the mayor(?), a lord • Caroline, his assistant • Armande, her cranky mother • Pere Henri • Serge and Josephine, he owns a tavern • Vianne and her daughter Anouk • Roux, a river boat traveler
Reflection Questions: • 1. Is religion treated explicitly in the film? Is it central to the narrative? • 2. Is religion pictured as institutional? As individual spirituality? As communal? • 3. Are character religiously motivated? If so, how is this shown? • 4. How are attitudes toward religion communicated to the viewer?
