Babette, a French refugee and former chef de cuisine at the Café Anglais, arrives as an "other" who represents the sensuous and the Catholic. For 14 years, she lives as an unpaid servant, "emptying" herself into the mundane tasks of the village, much like a Christ-figure taking on the form of a servant. Her ultimate act is the creation of a "real French dinner," funded by a lottery win of 10,000 francs—her entire fortune. The Feast as a Sacrament of Grace
22 Jul 2013 — Gabriel Axel's exquisite adaptation of Isak Dinesen's short tale of grace through art provides spiritual and sensual sustenance. The Criterion Collection
