Babettes Feast (1987) | Cooking and Eating Scenes | Top Movies About Cooking

[@Hollis_has_questions]

When Babette says that an artist is never poor, my eyes fill with tears. I adore this brilliant magical film.

[@Jan96106]

It always makes me cry too.

[@melenatorr]

@@Jan96106 Me too - the entire last few moments of dialogue, silence, and music is exquisite.

[@abettum5441]

The book isn't too bad either😊

[@alcd6333]

One of the best films about cooking and eating ever made. It shows the beauty of preparing each intricate dish and how everyone enjoys the outcome.

[@rogeriodinato9757]

"An artist is never poor". ♥️

[@sesameseame]

One of the best films in this world. Happiness come from sharing.

[@davidvictory8178]

All about... "Don't judge a book by it's cover". One of the most excellent foreign films. I have love this film since performing arts school where it was shown to us. It has had the biggest impact on me ever since. Love, Love, Love.

such a gorgeous film. so beautiful!

[@zombiefulci3301]

Babette squandered her winnings on those old coots, they could never or will ever appreciate the sublime feast bestowed upon them. The juxtaposition of Babette, master gourmet chef who had lofty culinary skills gleaned from the top kitchens in France, to the austere and destitute residents of that Scandinavian village

[@AlbertoRodriguez-nd8di]

She did it for herself as she was exiled from France. It gave her peace of mind and move on in life. She was trapped until she made that dinner. The old folk needed it as well as they were bickering amongst each other. After dinner they appreciated each other again.

[@Jan96106]

@@AlbertoRodriguez-nd8di Yes, she felt fulfilled making that feast one last time. She explained that it was not just for them. But, as you say, she made them happy just like she prided herself on doing for the diners at Cafe Anglais in France. And she's not trapped. She wants to be there. All her family members are dead. She explains that an artist is never poor, and she illustrates that herself. She turns the meager fare she has to work with at the religious colony into meals everyone relishes. When she goes to France to pick up supplies, the old men turn up their noses at unpalatable food the sisters serve them in her absence. She is a true artist. And she has the General there to appreciate the feast and compliment her and to guide the other guests on how to eat the food. She makes sure he gets special treatment, just like she would at Cafe Anglais. I love this movie more, but I am always reminded of Mrs. Ramsay in "To the Lighthouse" by Virgina Woolf. Mrs. Ramsay is a wife not an artist, but she is a skilled hostess, giving all her guests what they need to feel comfortable, and she has the ability to give each of her children exactly what they need to make them happy and soothe their fears. She covers the skull with gauze when it frightens Cam, but she assures James that it is still there. Woolf focuses on the creative nature of women to hold the family together.

[@TheMollyPitchers]

Just like Anne Shirley said to Marilla Cuthbert... Oh, marilla how much you miss!

[@bebetigre1252]

Perfect to watch during pandemic that is lasting forever.

[@RedJohnO22]

If I could make one item from her feast I'd be happy. Tres Bon!

[@cervgiovanni]

I was wondering about dessert. That cake looks amazing

[@bobduvar]

Le Baba au rhum.... invented by the King of Poland who was the King of Lorraine and the Louis XV stepfather... Very famous dessert in France still nowadays...

[@szeptu1717]

@@bobduvar not invented but introduced actually. Baba is a very typical cake for Poland made to this day especially for traditional Easter breakfast. These were originally made only with egg yolks, so many in fact that these were measured not by number but by volume. In rich households of nobility in south-eastern parts of pre-war Poland these were at least two feet tall (but there are records of ones that were more than a meter tall) and so delicate and fluffy that they had to be cooled on a pillow. Tradition lost nowadays, as far as I'm concerned, because it's just too expensive, but recipes survived. But even with babas of nowadays for me soaking a good light one with rum is not something I'd opt for. Another fun fact: these "babas au rhum" travelled with Bourbons to Naples, and confectioners make these there too.

[@georgecinq928]

Ce film est trop bien et il donne faim 😋😋😋

[@jsmra-m8k]

No sé qué es mejor si las escenas de elaboración de la comida o los gestos de los comensales al comer algo tan rico como nunca soñaron.( Excepto el general que hace breves comentarios). El resultado al final se muestra explendoroso.

[@GillianAnnBlower]

Perfect world.

[@bobduvar]

Rien que les scènes des plats sont des Chefs d'oeuvres de la gastronomie française....

[@lindanorris2455]

and the chicken heads on the pastry - uck!

[@libragirl4471]

Did the help get to eat the food they prepared? Later? Leftovers in the kitchen? I sure hope so. So much work goes into feeding a wealthy family.

[@unicornlens]

All of us are asking: “Where’s our invite?”

[@austinburras2993]

how are u going put ur watermark on someone else work

[@HolographicSweater]

when you finna eat good

[@wrmty56413]

Sorry Babette...is there a vegan option?

[@7792pnaurfr]

Yes, the rainwater outside.

[@kachoman6225]

There are many... grapes, papaya, dates, pinaple, apples, you see al those fruits... dunno if figs count as vegan thou...

[@lesamisdelacuisineprovenca9534]

Being vega was not an option then. Because meat was overpriced the european population was ... vegan ! Not by choice but by poverty... the movie is supposed to happen during the 2d part of the XIXth century ... This was the greatest wave of emigration to northern America from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany etc because theyr were in right sense of term : starving !!!..

[@Warpedsmac]

Yes! Cook and eat you....probably a little bitter.

[@b_h_liblew4740]

thing about french cooking is, they look beautiful but not really appetizing. just sugary bread, cream, butter and protein.

[@hadelidell4285]

I disagree 😌

[@francesdumaliang6132]

I disagree…French cooking is more exquisite and complex than that.☺️
