Chocolate

Thai (subtitles)
2008
92 minutes
5 Stars


This delightful story is about Zen, the autistic daughter of Zin, ex-girlfriend to the Thai mob boss. Zen's father is a Japanese Yakuza, and is in Japan, not allowed back to see Zin. Zen's favorite treat is chocolate, hence the title of the movie. She grows up watching the Thai martial arts school next door, and martial arts movies, and practices the moves she sees. When her mother gets sick and needs money, Zen and her caretaker find a notebook of debts owed her mother, and go to collect. The choreography is absolutely amazing, the humor laugh out-out-loud funny. If you like martial arts movies, move this to the top of your list! How wonderful to feature a girl with different abilities. The beginning may be a little confusing, but stick with it, all becomes clear by The End.
