Babette's Feast (1987)
a film by Gabriel Axel

This Academy Award Winner for Best Foreign Film, is adapted from a story by Isak Dinesen about two sisters in a 19th century Calvinist settlement in Denmark who, under their late father's rigorous spiritual dictates, pass up their chances for romance and worldly success.

IB says: "A deeply moving exercise in subtlety. A rare and wonderful glympse into grand cuisine."
