Babette's Feast

Babette's Feast (1987) starring Stephane Audran. Two Danish sisters give up love and fame to stay in their remote village and live the religious life. A French refugee named Babette (Audran) comes to stay with them and be their servant, and she serves them for 14 years -- until she wins the lottery. Babette has a secret, which she doesn't reveal until near the end of the film, but frankly it came as no surprise to me. This movie won the Best Foreign Film Oscar, but I can't quite see what all the fuss is about. It's in Danish and French, with English subtitles. Grade: B
