This movie was recently recommended to us by a friend. It was fantastic! I messaged said friend saying, "Just finished Babette's Feast... I think it changed my life". A beautiful depiction of a remote, pious community awoken to the glorious pleasures of exquisite French cuisine. I cried. It was a good thing I had a full meal beforehand, otherwise you would have seen me rummaging around my kitchen trying to whip up a grand gastro-creation. If you love food and it pleases you to feed others, watch this film! We borrowed this movie from our local library (for free!).I also found this beautiful painting while searching for an image from the movie:
Saint Martha in her kitchen (Vincenzo Campi, d. 1591)
