Review of Babette's Feast (1987) by Nadeem A — 13 Jul 2008
Gabriel Axel's visually stunning and simple allegory on the mindful yet redemptive colours of culinary insouciance. Stephane Audran's virtuous 'Babette Hersant' comes alive as the demure darling of our erstwhile dormant appetitive comforts.
The direction allows the viewer to participate in the full awareness of the sensual yet translucent properties of food that has been prepared not merely by hands but by virtue.A delightfully iconic and sensual statement on the essential ingredients that make life worth living and living worthy of life.
