Title: Chocolat<\/b><\/p>\n

Director: Roschdy Zem<\/b><\/p>\n

Starring: Omar Sy, James Thierr\u00e9e, Clotilde Hesme, Oliver Gourmet, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Pierrot, No\u00e9mie Lvovsky, Denis Podalydes.<\/b><\/p>\n

The history of the clown Chocolat, the first black circus artist in France, lands on the silver screen.<\/p>\n

From the circus to the theatre, from anonymity to stardom, Rafael Padilla \u2014more commonly known by his stage name Chocolat \u2014 was a clown who entertained Parisians in the early years of the 20th century. His success came by the exceptional partnership with George Footit, since their duo would embody the\u00a0 white clown and the auguste (happy clown).<\/p>\n

Director Roschdy Zem delivers a wonderfully nuanced story about a black man who not only went from rags to riches, and was overwhelmed by his success, but had to do so confronting the racism of the Belle \u00c9poque era.<\/p>\n

Footit (James Thierr\u00e9e) is already a known performer when he first encounters Chocolat (Omar Sy) at a provincial circus run by a money-grabbing couple (Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Pierrot and No\u00e9mie Lvovsky), who force the\u00a0 Cuban-born exile to play the role of a primitive cannibal, to frighten the small town folk who have clearly never seen a black man before. But what Footit actually sees is Chocolat\u2019s potential on stage, training him in a two-man number that will make history. As a matter of fact the routine was captured on film in 1896 by movie pioneer Emile Reynaud, played here by a Denis Podalydes.<\/p>\n

Footit and Chocolat become so popular that they\u2019re quickly hired by the Parisian impresario (Olivier Gourmet), who sets them up as one of the Nouveau Cirque\u2019s main attractions. Fame and fortune soon follow with the usual celebrity complications, including Chocolat\u2019s drinking, gambling and womanising; along with the realisation that his rise to stardom comes at the expense of mocking his own race. Rafael\u2019s consequent stance will change his career forever.<\/p>\n

Omar Sy is exceptional in portraying the titular clown who battled prejudice with laughter, and the chemistry with James Thierr\u00e9e, who plays Footit, is remarkable. The Swiss performer is perfect for the role, considering his diversified experience in the performing arts, which encompasses mime, dance, music and acting. Not to forget that Thierr\u00e9e has the circus running through his veins, since he is the son of Victoria Chaplin and Jean-Baptiste Thierr\u00e9e, as well as being the grandson of Charlie Chaplin and the great-grandson of Eugene O\u2019Neill. Thierr\u00e9e truly channels the talents of his lineage interpreting with earnestness the acrobatic sad clown, who was the wingman and maker of the first \u201cStar Exotique du spectacle fran\u00e7ais.\u201d<\/p>\n

The movie \u2018Chocolat\u2019 is much more than a mere biopic, it\u2019s a historical chronicle, an activist film and the story about an artistic friendship that blends physical comedy with plenty of compassion.<\/p>\n
