Anachronisms: The movie is set in 1959, yet when Comte de Reynaud enters Caroline's office in the beginning of the film, a modern security motion sensor can be seen in the top right of the screen.
Continuity: Early in film when Vianne makes Amande her first cup of chocolate, she fills the cup only half full of chocolate. Then she adds the chili pepper and the whipped cream. When she places the cup of hot chocolate in front of Amande, the cup is very full.
Continuity: At the end of the movie when Vianne pours them hot chocolate, Roux takes a cup and drinks. When we see them again, Vianne is handing him a new cup of chocolate and Roux takes a drink from that cup.
Continuity: Narration frequently makes note of the smallness of the town (and it is obvious, for instance, that the church would hold only about 300 - about the right size for a village of, say, six or seven hundred). However, aerial shots of the town shows it to be a much bigger place than the story claims.
Continuity: When Roux offers Anouk a gift from the bucket, his hand alternates between being over and then under the handle.
Continuity: When Vianne and Anouk first meet Roux at the dock, it is an overcast day. Yet while Vianne and Anouk are shot in the "overcast" light, Roux is shot with a light on his left side, as if the sun was setting.
