Our take
Winner of the Oscar® for Best Foreign Film, Babette’s Feast is a mouthwatering marriage between gastronomy and cinema. Stéphane Audran, in a subtle and stunning performance, plays Babette, who through an act of culinary generosity, invites us to observe the cultural event that is the dinner table.
