Title: A Heavenly Banquet
Review: "Babette's Feast" is a sensual,spiritual feast. The plot is simple- Babette, a refugee from the French Revolution, comes to live with two Lutheran spinster sisters in Scandinavia. Both Martina and Philippa have refused marriage (ironic,since Martin Luther exalted marriage) to serve their family and their rural village. One romanced a soldier; another, an opera singer. Babette finds a way to wed the body with the soul, bringing about a chaste consummation at the table."Babette's Feast" is visually sumptuous,especially in the cooking scenes. It's a beautiful, spiritual movie,a delicious classic.
