Babette's Feast

A small, isolated village in northern Denmark in the 1870s. A pair of Lutheran sisters, Martina (Birgitte Federspiel) and Philippa (Bodil Kjer), live in seclusion on weekdays. Under the guidance of their father, a pastor, they sacrifice love and devote themselves wholeheartedly to religious causes. The two kind-hearted sisters took in Babette (Stéphane Audran), a woman who fled from chaos in Paris. Babette, who has a mysterious life experience, turns out to be a famous chef in a French restaurant. Babette was lucky enough to receive a huge bonus of 10,000 francs from France. In order to repay the kind-hearted sisters, Babette decided to personally cook on the anniversary of the death of the two sisters' father and serve an authentic and sumptuous French meal to the villagers. The film was adapted from the novel by Danish female writer Isaac Dinasson. It won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the 60th Academy Awards in 1988, the Catholic Humanitarian Award at the 40th Cannes Film Festival in 1987, and was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 46th Golden Globe Awards in 1989.
