Babette's Feast
A refugee from war-torn Paris in the late 1800's, Babette keeps house for two religious spinsters in a remote corner of Denmark. On receiving a legacy, she reveals that she was a famous chef and decides that the money will be spent on one final, extravagant gourmet meal for her employers and friends. Based on a short story by OUT OF AFRICA's Karen Blixen, it won the 1987 Best Foreign Film Oscar.

MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) Babette's Feast [1987]
Released in 1987, <I>Babette's Feast</I> is a film which depicts so little, yet says so much. Set in a rural Danish community, it centres around the twin sisters of the village pastor and the French women who serves them after fleeing the 1871 revolution. On winning the lottery she plans a feast to mark the centenary of the sisters' father, bringing a dimension of fine living into the lives of the God-fearing Lutherans and healing festering personal animosities in the process. <p> Director Gabriel Axel captures the rugged timelessness of the Jutland landscape, and draws inspired performances from Stéphane Audran as Babette, and Bodil Keyer and Birgitte Federspiel as the sisters Filippa and Martine. Per Norgard's sparse but affecting score captures the mood of the film perfectly. Altogether it's a heart-warming and affecting experience. <p> <B>On the DVD:</B> <I>Babette's Feast</I> on disc reproduces the vivid colour photography well in widescreen. There's dubbing and subtitles in English, French and Italian. Both the trailers for the English- and Danish-speaking markets are included, the latter an effective summary of the film.--<I>Richard Whitehouse</I>
