Babette's Feast

September 9, 2011

6:30 P.M.

Phillipa (Hanne Stensgaard ) and Martina (Vibeke Hastrup) turn down a chance to leave their Danish town, instead staying to care for their pastor father and his small church. Thirty-five years later, a French woman (Stephane Audran) seeks refuge, and Phillipa and Martina (now Bodil Kjer and Birgitte Federspie) take her in. The feast the woman prepares in gratitude is eclipsed only by her secret in director Gabriel Axel's Oscar-winning drama.
