Adapted from a short story by Isak Dinesen, Babette’s Feast is the delicately told tale of two devoutly religious sisters who have retreated into the desolate but safe enclave of their pious upbringing. Into their lives comes Babette—a maid who, unbeknownst to the two women, was once a celebrated chef in her native France. When Babette wins the French lottery, she rewards the sisters’ kindness by preparing a memorial dinner for the dwindling religious community. Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Film, Babette’s Feast is an inspired celebration of the triumph of art over puritanical zeal.
