This Friday, December 14, the Danish film BABETTE'S FEAST will be shown at the Maple Corner Community Club at 7:00. Isak Dinesen's famed 1957 short story tells of the beautiful but pious sisters Martine and Philippa grow to spinsterhood under the wrathful eye of their strict pastor father on the forbidding and desolate coast of Jutland, until one day, Philippa's former suitor sends a Parisian refugee named Babette (Stéphane Audran) to serve as the family cook. Babette's lavish celebratory banquet tempts the family's dwindling congregation, who abjure such fleshly pleasures as fine foods and wines. The film won the 1988 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Rick Winston will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterwards; admission is by donation.
