This Danish film has brought the "food film style" on the screen for nearly two decades. The first half of the film is very simple and elegant, the love story of the two sisters is tender and touching, and it also makes people understand the folk customs of the Danish parish; the second half focuses on the whole preparation and cooking process of the feast, and French cuisine The color, fragrance, and taste of Lutheran people are fully displayed, and it is mouth-watering. It is no wonder that the Lutheran faithful who focus on abstinence and temperance in their lives were also conquered by this feast. Sisters Martina and Philippa live in a small village in northern Denmark. The sisters, who are simple and simple, are dedicated to maintaining the religion and gatherings established by their father, who is a pastor. When they were both young and beautiful, under the guidance of their father, they rejected the mundane happiness of marriage, devoted themselves to religious cause, and lived a simple life of eating salted fish porridge day after day, year after year.
The film tells us through a simple story: We must never forget our desire for beautiful things. As long as there is kindness and gratitude, God will take care of you.
French feast with grapes and wine VS Puritan extreme salted fish porridge-Excessive material shortage and extreme simplicity of life may not be a shame, because it will blind people's minds like long-term luxury and extreme luxury, and breed complaints and discord.

    It's so simple that people realize it. It turns out that movies can be so simple, and simplicity is beauty. Now many directors have forgotten about it. Food saves the soul, and art makes people noble. I'm with you every day of my life, past, present, and future, you know, right?

    A / I can see the charm of Japanese movies in Nordic movies (perhaps closer to the hybrid of France and Italy?), and the intercultural blend of divinity and secularity is slowly developed in daily life, which is wonderful. Get rid of any type that can be summarized, and run through with a sense of tenacity and abundance of life. It outlines the relationship between characters with behavior, distance, and events, and refuses to obsess over the three-dimensional sense of focused narrative, spreading out like a scroll. A ritual with no "speech" is used to dispel the taboos without much judgment, so that the states of the characters in the images tease each other and even cause commotion. To some extent it is better than "Diet for Men and Women".

Babette's Feast quotes

  • General Lorens Löwenhielm: [last words to Martina] I have been with you every day of my life. Tell me you know that.

    Martine: Yes, I know it.

    General Lorens Löwenhielm: You must also know that I shall be with you every day that is granted to me from now on. Every evening I shall sit down to dine with you. Not with my body, which is of no importance, but with my soul. Because this evening I have learned, my dear, that in this beautiful world of ours, all things are possible.

  • Martine: [after learning Babette spent 10,000 francs on the dinner] Now you'll be poor for the rest of your life.

    Babette: An artist is never poor.
