Help[Opinions] Re: Does Anouk sound weird to most American's?
in reply to a message by abbasdaughter
Chocolat is a film from 2000, starring Juliette Binoche, Johnny Depp and Judi Dench. It was directed by Swede Lasse Hallstrom, and filmed mostly in France and the interiors in the UK. (it's based on a UK author Joanne Harris' book) .
It became quite an unexpected hit in the usa and was nominated for oscars etc. Anouk is Juliette Binoche's daughter in the film.
In film, Anouk is pronounced correctly Anook or (Ah-Newk) the long oo vowel sound as in Anoushka or the sound of the letter U in Uma or Flute.
I would also say more people in the usa do recognize the name (if they recognize it at all) from Chocolat rather than from the French actress, as it is more of their generation now, than the 1960's when Ms. Aimee had her heyday.
