food always make a good topic in movie and a chocolat show . babette feast be the same type of thing . babette harsant ( stephane audran ) be a french cook who flee her native land after the repression of 1871. she move to a very religious danish village . the people in this village simply have no use for joy . that be and until babette cook them one of her exquisite meal . it not just that this movie deal with bring fun to a place that have never know it . like other scandinavian movie ( and non hollywood movie in general ) and it show that a movie can hold your interest without the use of explosion and car chase and etc . this be one movie that you can not afford to miss . one more thing . do you think that the danish word for feast sound a little bit like tastebud .
