On the face of it, Gabriel Axel's Babette's Feast (1989) is a film
in which the eyes - and mouths - of religious zealots are opened to
the glories of the sensual world. It is a critique of what
Nietzsche called life-denying religion in favour of life-affirming
sensuality. But to view the film in that way is to get it
profoundly wrong. In his study of the film, Julian Baggini argues
that Babette's Feast is not about the battle between religiosity
and secularity but a deep examination of how the two can come
together. Baggini's analysis focuses on themes of love, pleasure,
artisty and grace, to provide a rich philosophical reading of this
most sensual of films.
