Writer/director Gabriel Axel's Oscar-winning film is set in 19th-century Denmark. Babette (Stephane Audran), a chef and refugee from France's civil war, finds herself in a remote Danish hamlet working for two sisters who preside over its inhabitants. The sisters were brought up under the strict regime of their devout father who preached salvation through self-denial and have kept his teachings going even after his death. But Babette's arrival is set to change the status quo when she cooks a sumptuous meal for the sisters and their friends.

About this product

Product Information

Stephane Audran plays Babette, a 19th century Parisian political refugee who seeks shelter in a rough Danish coastal town. Philippa (Bodil Kjer) and Martina (Birgitte Federspiel), the elderly daughters of the town's long-dead minister, take Babette in. As revealed in flashback, Philippa and Martina were once beautiful young women (Hanne Stensgaard and Vibeke Hastrup respectively), who'd forsaken their chances at romance and fame, taking hollow refuge in religion. Babette holds a secret that may very well allow the older ladies to have a second chance at life.

  • An arresting oddity, but very rewarding.

    Subtle. Unusual. Not for everybody. Based on a short story. Comical, poignant and visually arresting. No action, very sedate. Beautifully acted. Strongly recommended.
