Greetings from the Cinephile Film Club!

This Thursday, 15th May 2025 at 6.30 p.m.we are screening the Danish film Babette's Feast (1987, Danish with English subtitles, 102 mins), which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. 

The first Danish film ever to win an Oscar, Pope Francis had called Babette's Feast his favorite film.

Based on a popular short story of the same name, the film is set in the 19th century. It is about  Babette, a political refugee from Paris. She works for free as a housekeeper and cook in a small village for two elderly sisters. A large part of the film dwells on Babette's efforts to throw a lavish feast for the sisters and the villagers after winning a lottery.
