Well, this is not the Chocolat I was thinking of watching, with Juliet Binoche et al, this one was, found here on IMDb was an earlier war time drama set in French controlled Africa. It's a typical coming of age movie with looks across cultures and social norms. It has much the same flavour as "Walkabout", but a very different story line.
It's been a few months since I saw it, and remember little of the film apart from broad desolate landscapes, people getting caught on differing sides of social gaps, with several relationships falling afoul of this situation.
Worth seeing, but a bit ponderous and lethargic at times. Photography was okay.
