Babett's Feast won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film in 1987. It is also listed as number three in The Arts & Faith Top 100 Films by Image, a journal of religion and the arts.
We will watch the film as a piece of literature--which it is--and as a way of illustrating something about literature: that artistic literature is like fine food.
If you've prearranged with me to not attend this film night (for a legitimate reason), then you can make up the participation credit by watching the film on your own, getting notes from someone who watched it with the group, and then writing an extra blog post responding to the film and answering the following questions: How is artistic literature like fine food? And what does that mean for how it should be read?
