Babette's Feast = Babettes gæstebud / Janus Films ; Just Betzer præsenterer ; en film af Gabriel Axel ; drejebog efter Gabriel Axel ; produceret af A-S Panorama Film International, København ; i samarbejde Nordisk Film og Det Danske Filminstitut ved konsulent Claes Kastholm Hansen ; producenter, Just Betzer og Bo Christensen.
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 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.
