Leans Progressive
Primary
The film is left-leaning as its central conflict critiques rigid social conservatism and religious hypocrisy, championing individual freedom, tolerance, and the embrace of pleasure and diversity over oppressive traditional norms.
The film 'Chocolat' features traditional casting with an almost entirely white ensemble, consistent with its historical French village setting. Its narrative subtly critiques conservative societal norms and champions themes of acceptance and individuality, rather than explicitly focusing on modern DEI categories such as race or gender identity.
Secondary

The film 'Chocolat' does not contain any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative explores broader concepts of tolerance and individuality within a conservative community, without specifically addressing LGBTQ+ identities.
