Molina is the resident nobleman who tries to shut her down, while Depp (who starred in Hallström's ''What's Eating Gilbert Grape'') plays the handsome out of towner who gives Binoche more than a sugar rush. ''It's a totally different tone than 'Cider House,''' says Hallstr& ouml;m, who made only one major change from Joanne Harris' 1999 novel, moving the story from the 1990s to the more lyrical 1950s. ''This one is sort of a comedic fable. It's a very enchanting story, with a great eye for character and psychology.'' GOOD SIGN Certainly sounds sweet. THEN AGAIN Depp doesn't appear until well into the second half. Talk about burying your lead.
