little development between Vianne and Roux


The movie poster shows Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche in an intimate moment of chocolate exchange. But we actually see very little of Johnny Depp. We think it is a love story between these two people but Roux's relationship is hardly a subplot. He just becomes a tertiary character.

I have no problem with this as the movie ends with the assumption that they are going to strengthen their relationship further. But I feel that Johnny Depp was cast into this role so that American audiences would be more likely to watch it.

Does anyone think that the movie should have focused on their relationship more?

I really like the movie as it is. However, I also think that if they wanted it to be a love story or at least have a love story as one of the main plot points, they could have done a much better job developing that.

This is my signature.
