About this product

Product Information

This Academy Award-winner for Best Foreign Language Film was a big art house hit, spawning a whole international subgenre, "foodie" (films about the liberating effects of good food). It's 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. Years pass; they grow into charitable old spinsters and one day a French war refugee, Babette (Stéphane Audran), comes to work for them. Life goes quietly one for years until one day Babette decides to prepare a lavish gourmet dinner for the elders of the town, even though the thought of such decadence makes the sisters fear for their Christian souls. This all may sound rather dull to some viewers, but rest assured, no one who has seen this film has ever regretted it. Even with its measured pacing and austere emotional palette this remains a riveting experience from the first frame to the last. The acting is marvelously naturalistic, and the cinematography evokes the dark beauty of 19th century Scandinavian paintings, rendering the ancient, white-whiskered faces of the villagers, the windswept coastline, the wood-hewn interiors, and of course the incredible food, with a vital, deeply felt reverence that lingers in the mind long after the film is over.

    A great movie, and very enjoyable.

    It's as good as I expected it to be, and the insert is great. I left it at a four star rating because there is a version that has a separate "Special Features" disc, that makes it even better. It does cost more, so I didn't go for that, but I am very happy with what I have. It's a great movie, and a very enjoyable one, and it's in perfect condition, so it runs smoothly from start to finish.

    Poignant, funny, inspiring

    The movie is an entertaining mix of characters and story line. There are moments of bittersweet longing, poignancy, and humor. The main characters are perfect for their roles. Though a foreign film with subtitles, one quickly forgets that one is reading the script! I highly recommend this film.

    Wonderful film

    I had seen this many years ago, watched it recently on Amazon prime, and decided it's a watch again, so looked for it on DVD. Starts off a little slow, but let the story unfold. It's thoughtful, at times funny, and worth watching.
