Negative Positive
Title: A classic.
Review: Twenty years ago nothing put terror in my heart like being invited to watch a foreign film. The deliberate pacing and low-key style annoyed the daylights out of me. But getting closer to Social Security, I find myself enjoying films like Babbette's Feast more than the typical frenetic American box office hit. The best description I can offer for this movie is "visual poetry." There are so many layers to this deceptively simple story, that each repeated viewing offers some previously unnoticed delight. This is one offering that can never be praised enough.
