An Artist Is Never Poor: Babette’s Feast (1987) | Criteria: The Catholic Film Podcast.
James and Thomas discuss Babette’s Feast, an Oscar-winning religious classic directed by Gabriel Axel and based on a short story by Karen Blixen. (This is apparently Pope Francis’s favorite film.) Two elderly sisters in a small Danish village have spent their lives praying, caring for the poor, and tending to the small, quasi-Puritan sect founded by their late father. When their French cook, Babette, asks if she can make a feast in honor of their father’s centenary, their faith is challenged and their souls are enlivened by the revelation that beauty too is a means by which God draws us closer to Him. Next time, we will be discussing Stanley Kubrick’s 2001:A Space Odyssey.
