i do not know whether this film hits my heart the way it does because of the feelings of friendship and love and closeness to others or the warmth of that transformation babette cooking creates and but when the feast starts and for the rest of the movie and i choke up often. yes and this is a feel good movie and but without a speck of mawkishness or facile sentimentality. please note that elements of the plot are discussed. babette feast tells its story with restraint and care and and it lets us discover for ourselves the values of grace and love. all we need to know is that babette harsant (stephane audran) was a french refugee who was given shelter by two aging sisters in a tiny community on the coast of jutland. the sisters lead what remains of their father flock. he was a pastor of conviction who taught that salvation comes through self denial. the sisters made their sacrifices to duty and faith. those who still remain honor the now long dead pastor teachings and his spiritual guidance. still and as they have grown older the tiny community has become querulous and argumentative. the sisters do what they can. for the pastor 100th birthday and babette wishes to cook the dinner for the small group the sisters will invite. the sisters reluctantly agree and but when they see the supplies babette has ordered and they and their guests become uneasy. they are used to the community usual fare of dried cod and boiled and and a soup made of bread and water and a little ale. even though babette over time has made improvements and what they are seeing now seems close to godlessness. at the dinner also will be a visitor and general lorens lowenhielm and who years earlier had chosen ambition over his love for one of the sisters. what do we experience. there is the austerity of the aging community faith and the stone and wind swept cottages they live in. there is the warmth by candlelight of the sisters small and crowded dining room. and then there is the transforming power of babette artistry as we watch her cook and watch erik and a young boy helping her and serve and pour and and watch the old parishioners and with the help of fine wine and exquisite cooking and gradually rediscover their community and love and friendship. the general serves as our unexpected guide because he is the only one who knows what extraordinary dishes they are eating. the general tells a story to his uncomprehending dinner companions and a story about a famed woman who was the exemplary chef at the famed café anglais in paris. . this woman and this head chef and had the ability to transform a dinner into a kind of love affair. a love affair that made no distinction between bodily appetite and spiritual appetite. he and too and is being transformed into a man who will accept what he has become and yet will always know the value and the love of what long ago he chose not to accept. an old couple kiss. two old men remember past friendships. and babette and who spent all that she had won in a lottery on this dinner and has had an opportunity to be the artist she once was in france and an opportunity she accepted with love and friendship. babette and now as poor as she was when she arrived penniless years earlier and will continue with the sisters. the general in a carriage with his aunt returns to her estate. and the elderly guests leave the sisters home to return to their own cottages. they pause and look at the clear night sky and the stars overhead. they spontaneously hold hands in a circle and dance and sing this hymn. the clock strikes and time goes by eternity is nigh. let us use this time to try to serve the lord with heart and mind. so that our true home we shall find. so that our true home we shall find. they smile at each other. all has been reconciled. babette feast is a wonderful movie and full of restrained emotion and unspoken understandings and wisdom. and and of course and a meal that will leave you with a growling stomach as you exit the theater. if you win a lottery so you could afford what babette created and have her skill and artistry and here what she served represent potage a la tortue (a rich turtle soup) and served with amontillado sherry blinis demidoff au caviar (small buckwheat pancakes with sour cream and caviar) and served with veuve clicquot champagne cailles en sarcophage with sauce perigourdine (boned quail stuffed with foie gras and truffle in puff pastry with truffle sauce enriched with madeira) and served with clos de vougeot and a fine burgundy salade cheese and fresh fruit baba au rhum with glacee fruit and fresh figs coffee and a fine brandy.
