Babette’s Feast (U)

With introduction from food historian Dr Annie Grey (8.15pm screening only)

Babette’s gæstebud (original title)

Denmark, 1987, 102 mins. Dir Gabriel Axel

The tale of a displaced Parisian chef who comes to live as a servant to two elderly sisters in a frugal Christian community on Denmark’s Jutland coast.

At first she bends to the sisters’ self-disciplined life and diet, and her services are warmly appreciated.

But when a stroke of good fortune leads her to winning the lottery she takes the opportunity to treat the community to a lavish, multi-course masterpiece of French cuisine. Babette’s feast is an extraordinary film that delivers one of cinema’s most mouthwatering meals.

‘An Oscar-winning tale of everyday passion, magic and miracles – a delicacy to savour.’
BFI
