Artistic, sensual and sacred passions unite in Babette’s Feast. On the desolate coast of Denmark live two sisters of a devout clergyman who preaches salvation through self-denial. Both girls sacrifice youthful passion to faith and duty, and even after their father’s death, they keep his austere teachings alive among the townspeople. But with the arrival of Babette (Stéphane Audran), a mysterious refugee from France’s civil war, life for the sisters and their tiny hamlet begins to change. Soon, Babette has convinced them to try something truly outrageous - a French feast! Babette’s extraordinary gifts as a chef de cuisine and a true connoisseur, so characteristically French, breaks the towns distrust and superstitions, elevating them not only physically but spiritually. Old wrongs are forgotten, ancient loves are rekindled, and a mystical redemption of the human spirit settles over the dinner table. (Shock Entertainment)
