Chocolat is the 2000 British-American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Lasse Hallstrom (The Cider House Rules) starring Juliette Binoche, Judi Dench and Johnny Depp. The movie was adapted from the novel written by Joan Harris and is about a woman and her daughter opening a chocolate shop - with Sunday hours - across the street from the local church in a small French village. The music is composed by Rachel Portman and the soundtrack also includes 'Minor Swing' from Django Reinhardt/Stephane Grappelli and the 1936 jazz standard 'Caravan' from Duke Ellington and Juan Tizol. Rachel Portman has written over 100 music scores for film, television, and theatre. She was also the first female composer to win an Academy Award in the category of Best Musical or Comedy Score for Emma in 1996 and in 2015 she received the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for the HBO TV series Bessie.
