The Danish/French Babette's Feast is based on a story by Isak Dinesen, also the source of the very different Out of Africa (1985). Stephane Audran plays Babette, a 19th century Parisian political refugee who seeks shelter in a rough Danish coastal town.

The Danish/French Babette's Feast is based on a story by Isak Dinesen, also the source of the very different Out of Africa (1985). Stephane Audran plays Babette, a 19th century Parisian political refugee who seeks shelter in a rough Danish coastal town. Philippa (Bodil Kjer) and Martina (Birgitte Federspiel), the elderly daughters of the town's long-dead minister, take Babette in. As revealed in flashback, Philippa and Martina were once beautiful young women (played by Hanne Stensgaard and Vibeke Hastrup), who'd forsaken their chances at romance and fame, taking hollow refuge in religion. Babette holds a secret that may very well allow the older ladies to have a second chance at life. This is one of the great movies about food, but there are way too many surprises in Babette's Feast to allow us to reveal anything else at this point (except that Ingmar Bergman "regulars" Bibi Andersson and Jarl Kulle have significant cameo roles)..

Two sisters in a dour Scandanavian town hire a French girl to cook. When Babette wina a lottery she spends the money on one spectacular dinner for the whole town. Beautiful cinematography of the seaside town and the preparation of the feast. A wonderful film.

GOOD ONE
If you don't mind the slowness of the unfolding of the plot, this is a good movie. Touching.

Movie 'Babette's Feast'
I recommend this movie to anyone who loves food and loves to cook food. The scenery is gorgeous. After the first five minutes, you will forget that you are reading sub-titles.
Bon appetit!
