Babette's Feast has been called a 'profoundly Christian film', not because of it's religious content (though there is some) but because it beautifully illustrates Grace. Philip Yancey devoted an entire chapter to the film in his landmark book What's so Amazing About Grace? On the desolate coast of Denmark live Martina and Philippa, the beautiful daughters of a devout clergyman who preaches salvation through self-denial. Even after his death, his daughters follow his teachings, sacrificing their opportunities and desires to keep their father's teachings alive among the townsfolk. But the arrival of a mysterious refugee from France changes life in the village: Babette proposes a gourmet meal - a scandalous idea to those who fear losing their souls by indulging in any pleasure. Filmed in Danish, this feature won the 1987 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. This DVD contains the original Danish and French soundtrack, or lets you hear a dubbed English or Spanish track. Delectable! A fable told with passion, intelligence and sumptuousness. -Los Angeles Times Exquisite, delicately told. -Leonard Maltin
