from out of the blue , a call to represent the u . s .

today while i was cooking dinner while christian was routinely emptying out my pot cabinet , i was watching dare to dream , a story about the women’s u . s . soccer team . it was motivational to watch these extraordinary women work , train and triumph to bring women’s soccer to the forefront of the media eye . what i found most intriguing was joy fawcett , one of the original soccer players of the u . s . soccer team . joy always knew she wanted a big family and never allowed her professional ambitions and personal desires collide . after just two weeks of giving birth from her first daughter , she started training for the second women’s world cup . the documentary mentioned she would make three comebacks as she would give birth to two additional daughters throughout her soccer career .

there i was , in awe of the accomplishment of the entire women’s team , but most especially joy , a woman i truly related to .

in the development of the team . these athletes also give interviews for the film . it was created by the " peabody award - winning creative team at hbo sports " and " follows the 18 - year journey of the u . s . women ' s soccer team from obscurity in the late 1980s to its second olympic gold match in 2004 . "

the seminal moment in women’s sports helped chastain nail down a spot on the 2004 olympic team that won the gold medal in athens . that was followed by a stint as a sideline report on the abc / espn telecasts of major league soccer games . now , chastain , who is married to jerry smith , the women’s coach at santa clara university , will be watching like the rest of us . but leading up to the tournament , the woman who played for her country 106 times since 1991 ( she is one of the stars of the hbo video “dare to dream : the story of the u . s . women’s soccer team , ” which will be released on dvd on sept . 19 ) , has not always liked what she has seen leading up to the tournament .

that said , she still believes the u . s . team “will find itself in the semis and then hopefully in the final . ”

that performance is the subject of “the ’99ers , ” a new documentary film premièring tonight as part of espn’s nine for ix series , a collection of nine features focussing on women’s athletic achievement to mark the fortieth anniversary of title ix . although the story of the u . s . women’s national team has been told before , most notably in the 2005 hbo documentary “dare to dream , ” the series slate—which includes films about venus williams , katarina witt , and pat summitt—needed soccer to feel complete . after all , the 1999 world cup final is a seminal moment in women’s sports ; played in front of a sold - out crowd of over ninety thousand people at the rose bowl , and forty million more watching the live broadcast on abc , it remains the most watched women’s sporting event in history . foudy , one of the documentary’s producers , happened to be in new york at the same time as the director erin leyden this past winter , and they sat down to talk about the possibilities for a new movie .

brandi chastain’s memorable celebration after winning the 1999 women’s world cup . ( lacy atkins / associated press )

but given that women’s soccer has seen two of its attempts at developing professional leagues collapse in his lifetime , archie , age ten , could be forgiven for wondering whether hamm , chastain , and foudy ever played for anyone other than the u . s . a . like most of his fellow campers , who ranged in age from nine to fourteen , archie wasn’t even alive during the hot summer weeks of 1999 that marked a breakthrough for the three women , their team , and women’s soccer , as americans went to stadiums across the country and turned on their tvs in record numbers to watch the u . s . women win the world cup in unforgettable fashion .

the chinese team has a swedish coaching staff , not norwegian . the canadian team has the former norwegian coach , pellerud .

a group of about thirty boys and girls from chelsea piers elite soccer were gathered in the middle of one of the turf fields at the field house , just off the hudson river . on the plexiglass door hung the day’s schedule ; listed in between “11 : 30 snack” and “1 p . m . lunch” was “12 - 1 soccer clinic with mia hamm and others . ” the others were brandi chastain and julie foudy , hamm’s teammates on the u . s . women’s national squad that won the world cup in 1999 .

recent performances on the international stage have made u . s . players like abby wambach , hope solo , megan rapinoe , and alex morgan household names . but for all of the star power on the national roster , there’s still an awful lot of handwringing about the state of the sport in the u . s . the united states soccer federation has launched three professional leagues for women . the first two failed after three seasons each ; the third , the n . w . s . l . , is heading into its inaugural postseason this weekend . while the national team has turned in three straight gold - medal performances at the olympics , 1999 remains the last year that the u . s . won the world cup , despite a brilliant run to a final with japan in 2011 .

any one with any recollection of the 1999 women’s world cup in the united states has the indelible image of chastain ripping off her jersey to reveal a stark black sports bra after she converted the penalty kick that gave the united states the world cup title .

“yes , in a way , it’s weird not to be in a team environment , which is where i’ve spent my whole life , ” she said . “it’s difficult . it’s now been almost three years since i’ve been in the game in that way . i wish our team the best , but i wish it was playing better soccer . ”

ah , the prosaic life of an american mom . except , with the start of the fifa women’s world cup in china only days away , chastain has split her focus between family life and the playing fields in china .

not meant to be a jerk but after watching germany , i think they along with prk are the favorites . also , the us players seem to be much bigger aka “full” compared to the strong and skinny germans . for a moment , i thought the german men team was on the pitch . they certainly have the ideal football built . absolutely impressed by the korean team . what an entertaining match between prk and usa . the prk should have won the match but the us team settled down once wambach is back on the pitch .

and while chastain pointed to the usual suspects–brazil , germany and norway–as the top competition for the american team , she said the first - round group , which includes sweden , north korea and nigeria , is perhaps the most difficult in the 16 - team field . the united states opens against north korea in chengdu on tuesday .

for someone who , as a fourth grader , wrote and rewrote her fan letter to mia hamm until it was absolutely perfect , it was like watching michael jordan field a question about what position he played . together , the trio that stood in front of the campers have played in over seven hundred games for the u . s . women’s soccer team , earning two gold medals , five concacaf gold cups , and one world cup in the process ; until earlier this summer , hamm had scored more international goals than any other player , male or female .

soccer is really never far from brandi chastain’s mind , but reached at home in california earlier this week , chastain’s concern was “organizing a baby - sitter” for her young son , jaden .

brandi was right on with her comment about chemistry and defenders don’t train with the forwards . need we say more based on what we seen in the match against prk in the opener ? us midfielders were nowhere to be found and shannon boxx was a pale shadow of herself compared to the last world cup . us midfielders lack an enforcer and need to stamp their authority to give a chance to their forwards to shoot on goal . lily did well to feed the ball to strike mate wambach to score the opener and the us equalizer was due to a bad clearance by the prk .

“our success spurred a lot of countries to start to focus on their programs , ” said hamm . “we had so many players who came and played in the first league saying , my federation saw ‘99 , and all of a sudden they were saying why don’t we have women’s programs , why aren’t we funding them—the englands , the frances—”

“over all , more teams are more athletic , faster , stronger , ” said chastain , who worked as a studio commenter for espn during the 2011 tournament . “to see a team like japan—a team that was always really technically good , but now they can play over the whole field—that’s been great , and good for our team because it shows that a team that can play over distance and space can also play small , too . so i think there’s a lot that the teams are learning from one another . ”

still , the three seem confident of their place in history , not just as a notable performance but also as a seminal moment for women’s sports . “our biggest fear looking back is that this would be a one - off , ” said hamm . “we wanted this to be the legacy , the new standard of how it should be … you want to leave the game in a better place , you want it to continue to grow . ”

and now tonight he made an even more outrageous decision to bench a very good keeper and disrupt a team that should’ve won the entire thing . i put this loss soley on the coach’s shoulders , despite the quick feet and nifty moves of the brazilian ladies . he put them in a hole they couldn’t get out of and you could see the effect from the first whistle . i hope the federation has enough gumption to find a new direction for the wnt as they did for the mnt . no amount of wins ( and draws ) can make up for such a huge bag of missteps on the worlds largest stage .

“just in the connectivity from back to midfield to the front , i think we need a better rhythm , ” she said . “we’re always going to be an athletic and physical and a quick team , but i would like to see better combinations and a style that is just more enjoyable to watch . “it’s not about being exciting all the time because when you have players like kristine lilly and abby wambach , they create excitement every time they are around the ball . but one of the players confirmed what i had a feeling about : the forwards don’t practice with the midfielders and the midfielders don’t practice with the defenders . how can you have a good group dynamic when you don’t train together . when you’re in separate groups it’s hard to have the chemistry . ”

“you can’t count out the teams in our group , ” chastain said . “sweden was in the last final and is a great , explosive team with talented players . sweden has gotten a lot younger of the last couple of years . elsewhere , no one is really sure about china but they’re going to be better because they have a norwegian coaching staff , but they will have to deal with the pressure of playing at home . ”

foudy’s video from 1999 is an unvarnished look at the locker room and team bus , with spontaneous dance moves , post - game pep talks punctuated by profanity , and uncomfortable grimaces caught on camera . the film that emerges is more of a fifty - minute travelogue than a polished documentary—albeit one punctuated by penalty kicks that can still put you on the edge of your seat more than a decade later .

“we felt like the ’99 story had been told , ” foudy said . “and then it hit me , like thirty minutes into the conversation—oh , my god , i had a camera , i have all this footage that i had kind of forgotten about , that nobody had ever seen . ”

apparently , babette’s feast is a 1987 academy award winning danish film , adapted from a collection of karen blixen’s short stories . and apparently , the film tells the story of two norwegian sisters raised piously by their father , and how they and the members of their small norwegian village are tempted beyond piety by a glorious feast prepared by their parisian refugee and cook , babette . all of this may be true , but babette’s feast at the coronet theatre – a stage adaptation by glyn maxwell – stands on its own , taking to heart smaller , more intimate themes of karen blixen’s stories in a production that is cosy and humble .

until then , like löwenhielm , like babette , we live in this good news : that our accounts have been settled at god’s table , and that there is no such thing as a waste . we are free to feast , and free to spend—god’s bounty is everywhere .

in the end , babette’s feast is pope francis’ favorite film because it challenges us to look outside of ourselves and to see the beauty of god’s joy and mercy . it is a movie about selfless service to others that may not always be in accord with our man - made “rules” and may upend our view of god’s mercy .

another way that the idea of art works in " babette ' s feast " is in how babette ' s art is appreciated and used by those who partake in it . the main place where this occurs is during the meal , primarily described in " babette ' s dinner " and " general lowenhielm ' s speech . " only general loewenhielm directly verbalizes the extraordinary nature of the dinner that babette has cooked . he has eaten her culinary art before . in the text , he recounts an original dish he ate in paris and that a woman , implied to be babette , was considered " the greatest culinary genius of the age . " loewenhielm is constantly amazed by the courses that she cooks for them , and knows the name of each dish and every beverage . he is a connoisseur of babette ' s art .

well said , swiss . . . nothing gives me greater pleasure than to prepare a " feast " and share it with family and / or friends , hence the quest to do babette ' s feast again . also , a bit selfishly , i like to a . , show off and b . , it ' s great mental therapy . again , thanks to all for contributions to my query .

but it was in the 1980s that blixen’s cinematic stock really came to the boil : her autobiographical novel about her time in kenya was the basis for out of africa , which swept the oscars ( including best picture ) for 1985 . then in 1987 , gabriel axel ’s film of the story ‘babette’s feast’ , a sensuous celebration of the pleasures of good food and drink , won that year’s oscar for best foreign language film .

but the most salivating prose was reserved for babette’s feast itself . “there never was such a meal on the screen , ” claimed the times’s david robinson , noting axel’s collaboration with one of copenhagen’s most esteemed gourmands , jan pedersen of la cocotte . in the evening standard , alexander walker wrote : “the actual preparation and cooking of the repast – which took two weeks’ filming – is itself a mini - film of mouthwatering finesse . ”

after so many years of living a certain way , babette reveals much about herself to martine and philippa at the feast . given the ways the characters interacted during the feast , how do you think the women ' s relationships may be different afterwards ? how may they remain the same ? do you think babette continues to live with the sisters ? write an " afterword " addressing these questions . you may write it in dinesen ' s style or approach it as an objective follow - up .

i ' ve made the menu from babette ' s feast in the far distant past and , of course , my original recipes and notes are long lost . has anyone else done the menu and have any comments on or copies of the recipes ?

it ' s been a while since i saw the movie , but i do recall that babette used up her entire bucket - of - money in preparing that meal . what do you think it ' d cost to put together the equivalent feast ?

karen blixen is widely recognised for the portrayal of her by meryl streep in the academy award winning film , out of africa , as well gabriel axel’s acclaimed screen adaptation of babette’s feas t , which celebrates its 30 th anniversary this year . blixen wrote some of denmark’s most - loved fiction from the 1900’s to her death in 1962 , often under pseudonyms , most prolifically as isak dinesen who is credited as the author of babette’s feast . glyn maxwell’s new adaptation will tell the story of martine and philippa , two sisters living in a remote coastal village with their father , the dean . they live pious , simple lives until babette arrives at their door , a refugee fleeing from the french civil war seeking sanctuary . the sisters welcome her into their home and she works as their cook , feeding the locals for many years . in a selfless act of thanksgiving , babette creates a lavish feast for the people of the town .

in bruce bassoff ' s essay , " babette can cook : life and art in three stories by isak dinesen , " he argues that martine and philippa are " shallow " while babette is " deep . " in this argument , bassoff oversimplifies dinesen ' s conclusion in " babette ' s feast . " it is babette ' s artistic abilities , and the way she has incorporated them in her everyday life for the past 12 years , that has helped refine the artistry of the life of the sisters . when they learn that babette was once a cook to an elderly priest , dinesen writes , " the sisters resolved to surpass the french priest in asceticism . " outsiders like babette are challenged by the sisters ' life artistry and forced to find new outlets for their talents . in the end , though it takes babette ' s obvious culinary artistry to make the sisters , and their readers , more fully appreciate their lives , martine and philippa have already lived the full life of spiritual artists .

babette herself is magnificently played by sheila atim , yet i feel she has not been given enough to work with . although the play is titled after her , the production is focused mainly on the sisters and their community , with babette as a symbol more than a character . the production’s dessert – her conversation with philippa and martine as to why she provided the feast – is atim’s greatest moment , but it comes almost as an afterthought in the play’s final minutes .

holding a philosophy of ‘all are welcome here’ remains absolutely vital , but babette’s difference ( notably , it is unclear whether this production has been race - blind in casting ; the colour of babette’s skin is never brought up , but it nonetheless lends another perspective on this all - white norwegian village ) , her language , her revolutionary life , and her exquisite and exotic cooking tests the villagers’ practice . after twelve years of working in silence for the two sisters , babette insists on preparing an elaborate feast for the village . determined to respect her only prayer , the sisters and villagers agree , and vow not to comment on the feast as it occurs , in order to respect babette .

but she does something different . while the community prepares for the 100 th birthday celebration of the dead pastor , babette offers to throw a proper french feast in his honor . skeptical , and a bit worried about what a “french meal” might mean morally speaking , the sisters oblige babette , if only in gratitude for her years of service . they have no idea what this will mean , nor does the viewer . who would expect that the last half of the film will be focused on this meal , even if it is called babette’s feast ?

babette ' s offering is a ritual sacrifice , intended to encourage the austere characters with the possibility that their material nourishment may provide spiritual sustenance as well .

dinesen ' s equivalent for st . barbara ' s wafer and cup are babette ' s exotic food and drink . the understatement " babette can cook " flowers not only into the sensory marvels of her culinary art but also into the spiritually saving grace that partaking of her food brings to her guests . perhaps babette began mastering this art even prior to her work at the cafe anglais—when as a girl she was cook " to an old priest who was a saint . " in any event , the berlevaag food becomes the actual body ( wafer ) and blood ( wine ) of christ , according to the catholic doctrine of transubstantiation . one odd detail that emphasizes this " actual presence " is martine ' s gruesome recollection , following the feast , of the story of a missionary who discovered that he had eaten " a small fat grandchild of the chief ' s cooked in honor of the great christian medicine man . " babette ' s feast is another such instance of holy cannibalism .

now there was no cream , puffy pastries or a whiff of a croissant , but babette’s dessert looked amazing . it was a bundt kinda cake thing . so that’s what we’re making – kugelhopf from the good life france .

i love the joy these villagers get from babette’s kind of shocking menu and i must admit i was a bit surprised by the turtle soup and the cow’s head . but that’s french food for you , baby ! this is a very simple , delightful movie about love lost , about choosing a particular life for yourself and sacrificing everything to maintain it . ultimately , it’s about how food , a meal , a feast can bring people together , mend old grievances and bring joy !

cosy and humble : amy borsuk whets her appetite with glyn maxwell’s stage adaptation of karen blixen’s 1958 short story , but leaves wanting more .

it is not until that moment that at least one of the sisters fully appreciates babette ' s sacrifice for her art . philippa is moved by babette ' s words in the last pages of " babette ' s feast . " though babette was against the rich in the french civil war from which she escaped , her style of cooking was meant to be appreciated by such people before the uprising changed life in the city . it is only then that philippa , and the reader , really understands that while babette has not been able to be the artist she was meant to be for many years while in the sisters ' employ , she has made her life a reflection of her artistry . that is , babette found means of expressing her art in smaller ways—on smaller , odder canvases—than in the one meal she made in honor of the dean ' s one hundredth birthday . achille papin , the singer / teacher who was connected with philippa in her youth and who sent babette to the sisters ' door , was able to relate this idea best for babette . while describing the longing to do one ' s best as an artist , babette quotes papin as saying , " through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist : give me leave to do my utmost ! "

babette’s importance comes to a head when she receives a letter from france notifying her that she’s won the lottery—an amount of money that would easily take her back to france and give her a fresh start . given the glib community of puritans in which she’s found herself , that sounds like a no - brainer .

then one day a french woman , babette , comes to the city , and upends everything . while working as a housekeeper in the village , babette discovers that she won a lottery back in paris and instead of taking the money and returning home , she spends it all on a true “french feast . ”

at once a rousing paean to artistic creation , a delicate evocation of divine grace , and the ultimate film about food , the oscar - winning babette’s feast is a deeply beloved treasure of cinema . directed by gabriel axel and adapted from a story by isak dinesen , it is the lovingly layered tale of a french housekeeper with a mysterious past who brings quiet revolution in the form of one exquisite meal to a circle of starkly pious villagers in late nineteenth - century denmark . babette’s feast combines earthiness and reverence in an indescribably moving depiction of sensual pleasure that goes to your head like fine champagne .

if africa was for dinesen a " child she had buried " and could only talk or write about from a distance , and if " babette ' s feast " is all about the creation of a work of art as the therapeutic medium for " talking " about loss , we may suggest that dinesen too , like the sisters … " used " this narrative for her own therapeutic needs… . created as a symptom of her need to grieve , as a vehicle for facilitating the grieving process , and as a subtle commentary on the intricate relationship between writing and bereavement , " babette ' s feast "

perhaps best known for out of africa ( 1937 ) , isak dinesen is the pseudonym of karen blixen . having established her reputation as an author in the 1930s and 1940s , she sought to increase her income in the 1950s by having stories published in american magazines . a number of her stories were featured in ladies ' home journal , including " babette ' s feast , " which was first published in 1950 . a friend had advised her to write about food because americans love food , so she crafted a story about the transformative powers of a very special feast . in 1958 , " babette ' s feast , " along with other stories published in magazines , was compiled into anecdotes of destiny , which was available as of 2004 .

like other saints , babette is a sacrificial victim whose life and death are associated with salvation and the miraculous . although we assume that babette does not literally die at the end of the story , sly dinesen opens the door for that possibility when philippa , in her final gesture , puts her arms around babette and feels " the cook ' s body like a marble monument against her own . " metaphorically , babette has already become a marble saint ' s statue . her figurative " death " has been prepared for by the fact that , following the guests ' departure , martine and philippa go to the kitchen and find babette sitting " on the chopping " block , " white and … deadly exhausted . " babette on the chopping block alludes to st . barbara ' s death by having her head cut off .

dinesen ' s definition of the artist also applies to the sisters , whose story makes up the majority of the text , but each in a slightly different way . like babette , both sisters choose to live to the utmost , using self - discipline , sacrifice , and faith as their colors . after the meal , however , it is philippa , the younger sister , who understands better than her elder sister martine that babette is an artist . philippa makes an emotional connection to babette at the end of " babette ' s feast . " martine compliments babette as well , saying " they all thought it was a nice dinner , " but has a different relationship to art in her life than philippa . philippa is more obviously connected because of her singing , but it is dinesen ' s description of their lives that makes them artists in their own way .

finally , she makes her sacrifice with no expectation of any return . she does not make the sacrifice to purchase the goodwill of the sisters or of those who will consume the feast . indeed , she makes her decision believing that the consumers of her feast will have no idea what they are eating . when philippa gently chides babette for giving away all that she has for the sisters sake , babette answers : " for your sake ? no for my own . "

as the madeleine dipped in a cup of tea gives inexpressible joy to proust ' s narrator by resurrecting his childhood , so babette ' s feast carries her and her guests to another , better world . we who watch this feast may also count ourselves among babette ' s guests . it is not so much a lost france that the film offers the contemporary viewer as an idealized france that is called into existence by its cuisine . babette is every french cook and every french chef , the vital link in the culinary chain that metamorphoses the raw to the cooked and the cooked to the miraculously pleasurable . the fable of french cuisine turns out to be a culinary tale for all times and places , for all those cooks who transform eating into dining , and for all those diners who come away from the table transformed .

bravo ! the length of this was a feast ! i watched this film years ago , but now want to revisit . thank you !

babette ' s feast produces the miracle that is required for a holy person , like st . barbara , to be canonized . even at the cafe anglais her cooking rather miraculously turned a dinner into " a kind of love affair … in which one no longer distinguishes between bodily and spiritual appetite or satiety . " but her berlevaag feast absolutely transforms the hearts of the people who partake of it . babette unwittingly creates a sacramental experience , worthy of st . barbara , that brings atonement ( at - onement ) to its participants , just as the catholic mass does .

the danish / french babette ' s feast is based on a story by isak dinesen , also the source of the very different out of africa ( 1985 ) . 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 ( played by hanne stensgaard and vibeke hastrup ) , 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 . this is one of the great movies about food , but there are way too many surprises in babette ' s feast to allow us to reveal anything else at this point ( except that ingmar bergman " regulars " bibi andersson and jarl kulle have significant cameo roles ) . . ~ hal erickson , rovi

by any criterion , babette ' s feast is a food film . more than that , it is a french food film , a film of french food , " a real french dinner " presented in amorous particulars . still more than that , this is a french food film by virtue of the eating order that it represents and proposes for our delight , and that eating order is unequivocally french . like proust ' s recherche , babette ' s feast resurrects a country that is no more , the france before 1870 that had already disappeared when babette arrived in jutland in 1871 , was even more obscure when the tale was written in 1952 , and had become positively prehistoric by 1987 , when the film appeared . culinary france is an ideal , and france is an idealized country that lives through its cuisine . babette ' s feast constructs something of a legend out of french cuisine , a narrative lived between history and myth , in that such cuisine restores the community of the faithful and resurrects a country . the very distance of the film from france , its foreign author and filmmaker , language and setting , heightens our awareness of the constructed nature of the country that is culinary france .

such dissenting voices were almost entirely absent from the british press upon the film’s release in 1987 , with critics responding with unreserved praise , as if axel’s film sated a hunger for simple , humane stories that late 80s cinema had undernourished . “babette’s feast is a good story immaculately told ( even better in the cinema than on the page ) , ” wrote philip french in the observer . “it might well become , like a room with a view [ 1986 ] , a classic of literary adaptation . ”

babette was french and used to cooking great meals but in norway and this family the meals . . .

pope francis sees in the selfless giving of babette an example that we should all follow . babette spent her whole lottery winnings to make this feast and spent weeks planning the meal and securing the necessary ingredients . this is the joy that pope francis wants us to experience , a joy that does not focus on selfish needs but on the joy of others .

this story focuses on a lavish dinner that a french servant woman named babette prepares for a group of pious ascetics in an isolated norwegian village on sunday , december 15 , 1883 . the events leading up to this feast take many years to develop .

the telegraph’s tim robey was surprised by axel’s film’s “austere elegance rather than its gastro - porn credentials” . referring to the film as “melancholy bliss” , robey took delight in the final meal scene , but for its tantalising restraint more than its sense of indulgence :

babette ' s feast illuminates the connection between culinary production and the act of consumption . not only is each a function of the other , neither can be conceived without the other . the truism that links production and consumption aside—food exists to be consumed—works about food and about cuisine , like works throughout literary and cinematic history , tend to focus on the one at the expense of the other . notably , this film appeared as adventurous chefs were capturing the attention of the media in france and abroad . babette ' s promotion , or , better yet , her elevation , is appropriate in an increasingly international food culture . to be sure , this feast is babette ' s , the christ figure who sacrifices for the spiritual good and material contentment of the community . nevertheless , and like the last supper on which it is loosely modeled , this feast is all about public participation . cuisine , this film tells us as it continually cuts back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room , is a social relationship .

petruso earned a bachelor ' s degree in history from the university of michigan and a master ' s degree in screenwriting from the university of texas . in the following essay , petruso explores how the idea of art saturates aspects of dinesen ' s short story .

axel described the story of babette as something of a fable—a powerful story about the power of grace . because the story’s climax is a meal—and a meal with 12 guests at that—it is impossible not to think of the last supper , another story wherein the head of the feast demonstrates the audacity of giving it all . like christ himself , there is a subdued quality to babette . despite nearly an hour of on - screen food prep , we never see her eat , and in a way , that makes sense—she is the feast ; her only presence in the dining room is in the meal itself .

isak dinesen ' s " babette ' s feast " features three main characters , all women , who find themselves as unlikely housemates . martine and philippa are sisters who remain unmarried so they can take up the responsibilities of overseeing the congregation of their deceased father ' s lutheran sect . the other woman in the story is a french woman named babette , who fled paris in great danger and is taken in by the two sisters . babette and her generous hostesses have little in common , but among the strongest qualities they all share is the impulse to take care of each other . despite their differences , they forge a familial bond through the act of mutual support , first out of a sense of duty , but ultimately out of affection .

thank you ! the article was a feast and a great reminder of that great film . and of grace as well , so lavish it is .

fifteen years after rejecting their suitors , martine and philippa are joined by a french woman named babette , who appears at their doorstep exhausted , wild - eyed , and impoverished after escaping political turmoil in paris . a letter from achille papin states simply that babette “can cook . ” for twelve years babette serves martine and philippa . . .

many thanks to melissa for your links and daniel for your wonderful words and recipes . i must revisit babette .

summary babette ' s feast ( 1987 ) is popularly regarded as a " food movie . " after seeing the movie for the first time , viewers flocked to restaurants around the country to experience first - hand the delicious feast they had watched being devoured on screen . today , viewers will probably have to prepare their own feasts , but the recipes are still readily available . the film , however , is about a great deal more than the pleasures of eating . it is about the discovery of meaning .

according to the random house dictionary , a definition of art is " the quality , production , expression , according to aesthetic principles , of what is beautiful . " this concepts of art and artistry and how they can affect life is a central theme of isak dinesen ' s short story , " babette ' s feast , " primarily expressed through characters and their actions . though babette hersant is most obviously an artist with food as the title implies—the story ' s title claims that she creates a " feast " not a " nice meal " —several primary characters have an artistic element that helps answer questions such as " what is art ? " and " how does it affect every day life ? " some believe that life itself is art , and this story explores that concept to the fullest .

perhaps because the norwegian setting and characters were unfamiliar to her american readers ( " babette ' s feast " was , after all , written for an american magazine ) , dinesen scatters similes throughout her story to provide her readers with familiar images . this approach begins in the very first paragraph , where dinesen writes of the small town of berlevaag that it " looks like a child ' s toy - town of little wooden pieces painted gray , tallow , pink and many other colors . " when babette asks if she may use her lottery winnings to pay for and prepare a lavish french meal , dinesen writes , " babette ' s dark eyes were as eager and pleading as a dog ' s . " general loewenhielm dresses in his military regalia for the feast , and when he arrives , " in his bright uniform , his breast covered with decorations , [ he ] strutted and shone like an ornamental bird . a golden pheasant or a peacock , in this sedate party of black crows and jackdaws .

the plot of babette’s feast , which is set in late - 19 th - century denmark , is so simple as to be nearly nonexistent . a french woman named babette arrives in an ascetic rural lutheran community seeking shelter . she is taken in by the spinster daughters of the town’s deceased patriarch , and she works quietly as a housemaid and cook for many years . one day she receives word that she has won 10 , 000 francs in a lottery back in france , and she arranges to cook a “real french dinner” for the few ( and increasingly querulous ) residents remaining in the town to mark what would have been the 100 th birthday of the patriarch . though the sect’s members are wary of earthly pleasures , babette’s exquisite , beautifully composed meal—featuring most memorably a dish of stuffed quails in puff pastry called cailles en sarcophage— ultimately brings the village together again .

distinct emphases appear on every level of the film , beginning with chronology . in contrast with the short story on which it is based , babette ' s feast ages the sisters by fifteen years or so , so that they are in their late forties when babette arrives and in their mid - sixties for the final feast , not , as dinesen ' s chronology would have them , in their mid - thirties and late forties respectively . the advanced age of the sisters ; the greater expanse of time separating youthful visions and hopes from trials and disappointments in the present ; the visibly aged faces ; babette ' s spending fourteen with the sisters before winning the lottery , not twelve ; the presence of death and concern with the hereafter—all reinforce the elegiac quality of the film . the overpowering idea of life ending , the impulse to meditate on one ' s life course and the choices one has made , the anxious contemplation of the future—render the euphoria produced by the meal more dramatic , the prospect of rejuvenation more entrancing .

each vignette babette relates lays out the history of these two pious , hospitable sisters , martine and philippa . we are shown the story of martine’s rejected suitor , a young sergeant who becomes a grand general . we are then shown the story of philippa’s rejected suitor , an actor who believes he has found his perfect soprano . with these stories now told , babette herself vanishes , and her listeners become her storytellers .

it is hard not to think of the mottos of ‘open london’ and ‘all are welcome’ that – for some – have gained prominence since the brexit vote , of the millions of syrian refugees displaced and desperate for somewhere to all , and of the reality of small , english life , its insularity , its old grooves . but if babette’s story is meant to be a parallel to today , then it presents hope for both these communities and these refugees ; babette’s feast expands the community’s palettes , both literally and figuratively . in turn , the villagers recognise their own limitations , the ends of their knowledge , and use their own values to process and embrace the new .

little does lorens löwenhielm know , though , that he will be the honored guest of a spectacular feast that evening . little does he know that the feast itself will transport him from the life he feels he’s wasted . as the last course is being prepared , and lorens löwenhielm is given not another glass of clos de vougeot , but the bottle , he stands to give the best toast ever given :

a second article of faith in babette ' s feast is the certainty of the instantaneous and direct power of art . like grace , like the mercy invoked by the pastor early in the film and the general at the end , art touches individuals of every station , even against their will . surely it is not stretching things too far to see this story as dinesen ' s contribution to the debate over mass culture that was raging in the 1950s when she wrote " babette ' s feast . " against the contemnors of so - called mass society , the film , like dinesen ' s short story , proposes an overwhelmingly optimistic , consistently elevated view of art , artists , and society . against virtually all that we know about the socialization of taste—just ask anyone who has urged a child to try something new— babette ' s feast affirms the immediate accessibility of new and strange foods . the artist creates for the untutored no less than for the connoisseur . the young philippa , papin promises , will sing for the emperor but also for the young working girls from the poor neighborhoods . the general articulates his pleasure ; his coachman in the kitchen says no more than " that ' s good , " while the others say nothing at all . if the first appreciation is the more knowledgeable , the transformation of the silent diners offers the more eloquent testimony to the power of culinary art .

for years , babette had continued to play the french lottery by mail . as luck would have it , she won the ten - thousand - franc prize just as the sisters were trying to plan a celebration of what would have been their father ' s hundredth birthday . babette asked that they allow her to pay for and prepare an authentic french meal for the sisters and their guests . they are nervous about the dishes that will be served , and they are hesitant to accept babette ' s generous offer to pay . the sisters reluctantly agree .

as philippa says to babette at the end of the film , “but this is not the end , babette . in paradise you will be the great artist god meant you to be . oh , how you will enchant the angels ! ”

a great deal of literary attention has been given to dinesen ' s personal life and its influences on her writing . her best - known work is easily out of africa , which relies very heavily on her own experiences in africa . but her other works also draw from her personal experiences , and " babette ' s feast " is no exception . when dinesen was a child , her father committed suicide , leaving her mother alone to run the house and rear the children . luckily , a grandmother and an aunt who both lived nearby took on the responsibility of helping dinesen ' s mother and the children manage without a man in the house . biographers note that the help they lent was material , emotional , and spiritual . this tells the reader of " babette ' s feast " that dinesen knew a great deal about how and why women take care of each other and that she was deeply affected by this kind of care . it is no wonder , then , that her portrayal of babette , martine , and philippa is so warm and believable .

and all the while , babette is out of view , in the kitchen . she is out of earshot of the reconciliation her gift has brought . all the praise for the lovely supper goes to the two sisters . and the supper is ended . babette has given everything—her entire lottery winnings are spent—in the indulgence of one night’s meal .

a member of the congregation says the blessing over the meal , and babette ' s hired assistant begins serving the food and wine . with each course , loewenhielm is more amazed at how fine the food is and how it reminds him of his days at paris ' s finest restaurants . meanwhile , the conversation at the table revolves around miracles they had all seen during the dean ' s years of ministry .
