Reception

Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert comments that "nothing unfolds as we expect. Strawberry and Chocolate is not a movie about the seduction of a body, but about the seduction of a mind. It is more interested in politics than sex — unless you count Sexual Politics, since to be homosexual in Cuba is to make an anti-authoritarian statement whether you intend it or not."[1]

The title refers to a comment made by Diego that proved immediately to David that Diego was gay when, at Havana's Coppelia (ice cream parlor), he chose strawberry ice cream even though chocolate (vastly more popular) was available.
