Peter V @RT78913669 Jan 26 In a kind of prologue nestled within the film, Babette's arrival in the Danish village is explained within the first half of the film, in a compelling discourse that makes her presence thoroughly convincing and sets the stage for enjoying seeing and experiencing the dinner Babette gives to the villagers on their anniversary. The filming and making of the dinner are delightful, and the reactions of the participants are wonderful. The villagers are austere in some ways, but the Catholic Babette emerges in their eyes as an angel who will please God in heaven because of the gifts she offers them. Based on Isak Dinesen's story, the pen name of Karen Blixen of later Out of Africa fame, the film is about the gift of grace, a blissful, extraordinary experience.

You can’t help but enjoy the diner’s own enjoyment of the feast. It’s a treat you can’t taste but you can dream about. Watched on DVD.
