BABETTE’S FEAST (U) – 1987 Denmark 103 min – Danish with subtitles

Director: Gabriel Axel
Stars: Stéphane Audran, Bodil Kjer, Birgitte Federspiel

Stéphane Audran stars in this Oscar-winning film as a French refugee who arrives at a remote Jutland village, and is taken in as a cook by two elderly spinster sisters, who preside over a dwindling religious sect. One day she wins a lottery prize of 10,000 francs and surprises the sisters by offering to cook a sumptuous dinner for their congregation.  Based on a short story by Isak Dinesen, who wrote it for a bet, this film remains “charming and beguiling” (The Guardian).
