  Babette’s Feast is usually voted the very best food film of all time, and for good reason. Set in a remote village in Jutland, it is the story of a religious family and the French woman who comes to their door looking for shelter. She is an inspired chef whose skills have been famous in Revolutionary Paris, from which she has escaped in terror. As the years go on and the preacher father dies, his spinster daughters keep her on, serving up simple food. Then one day she comes into a great deal of money, and decides to spend it on a feast for her new community. The effect of her food on this repressed and frosty lot is captured with unforgettable and subtle charm.
