Product Description

World-renowned chef Michel Roux sets out to discover the secret of chocolate, its sublime complexity and the roots of its power over us. From a sacred drink of Aztec Emperors to the aphrodisiac of choice at Louis XIV’s court in Versailles, Michel guides us through the past and present of chocolate. He tastes and tempers, dips and decorates, in the hope that by understanding the art of chocolate making he’ll manage to create his very own unique, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate flavor.

It’s under an hour in length and isn’t terribly demanding on your attention

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 16, 2016

I watched the documentary Chocolate Perfection on Amazon Prime Video and it was a short informative movie. It’s under an hour in length and isn’t terribly demanding on your attention.

This does have necessary subtitles at certain points if you are only fluent in English.

Michel Roux Jr plays our host on this journey and at times it does feel mildly like an ad for some of the businesses he visit (not surprising as why else would they allow a camera crew into their backrooms). And we do learn some informative things.

The documentary also delves into the history of chocolate. From the Aztecs to the Spanish to the French.

I think one of the most interesting parts of this documentary was when he was designing his own chocolate and watching the process that it went through. It’s where Michel’s passion shone.

At times the documentary wasn’t as engaging as other documentaries of food. I think this in part was because the switches between locations didn’t always feel very connected to one another. Add to that the short length of the documentary and the complexity of the history of chocolate and we get a less than stellar documentary.

ok, here goes: what a challenge it is to EXPRESS one's tastebuds! Mr. Roux's (...a curiously fanciful surname) FACE is up to the challenge. it is antimated just enough to actually convey the feelings one experiences when trying to explain this specific, very personal, dealing (for lack of a better word). both the cinematography & it's accompanying musical score are fitting and beautiful, never drawing one's attention away from the purpose at hand. YES, I recommend this video. it's Christmas in the States at this time, but it would also fit well in a Valentine or Easter kind of mood. ENJOY!

This movie requires full attention or you miss 90% of it. that is not something worth doing.

So i would not in any way call this movie captivating but if you can not understand French then you will need to pay full attention because its mostly in spoken French. I am willing to read subtitles sure but not if its just babble. If this movie had very interesting information or was visually interesting or had captivating dialog that would be one thing. Its very lower middle of the road at best plus is 100% unable to be background streamed like 90% of what we all do nowadays.

Good movie. If you love chocolate but haven't thought about what goes into making it and the long history surrounding such a delicious and accessible food and drink, watch this and learn some new things. I think I ate too much chocolate while watching it.

Yes, very French and over the top in taste refinement, but they treat it with the seriousness of wine. Caution: don't watch if you're hungry. I particularly liked the historical bits, like making hot chocolate Aztec, Spanish, and French style before the production of candy began. The varying beliefs about its effects, along with the information on where it comes from, all fascinating.

Excellent documentary. I love chocolate very much! Yummy! This is just in time for Valentine. I hear dark chocolate is a good for your heart. It's true. It's also making you feeling better.

I found this pretty horrible in subtle ways

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

As a person that is first nations, I found this pretty horrible in subtle ways. The narrator implies that the only way to find proper chocolate is in France while complaining how bad original chocolate was, he also talks about how he loves the names of some of the chocolate snacks named things like 'Conquistador'. I don't know why one would make a documentary disparaging the origin of he favorite snack. It was also very publicity driven, it acts as an advertising tool for places he likes and about his 'perfect chocolate' that he is developing.
