Food for Thought featuring Babette's Feast

  • Robinson Film Center 617 Texas Street Shreveport, LA, 71101 United States (map)

Join Slow Food North Louisiana at the Robinson Film Center for a delicious French meal prepared by Executive Chef Niema DiGrazia and Chef de Cuisine Matthew DiGrazia of Abby Singer’s Bistro followed by a screening of charming Danish film Babette’s Feast.

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. Comedy/Romance, 1987, 1 hr 42 min., G.
