"If what make a work of literature a classic is its ability to be a mirror held up against all times and all human societies — the personal experience and the political one — I think this short novel by Isak Dinesen (or Karen Blixen in her homeland, Denmark) must be in the process of becoming one. Read against our own times it can bee seen as a simple tale about a woman on the run from civil war who seeks refuge in an isolated community. Bringing nothing along with her into her exile but her natural kind spirit and knowledge of the culture of the culinary arts, Babette makes a quiet existence for herself as a simple housekeeper until the day she gets the opportunity to show and share her extraordinary skills. And there is nothing simple about that."

A Beautiful Tale That Brings to Light the Darkened Truths
An absolutely beautiful story that sadly holds too much basis in today's world. This film tackles a lot of dangerous topics that many are too scared to address. It allows you to really get into the head of those who sadly go through these events and allows to really see the hidden racism that is spread throughout our culture. I have fallen in love with this film and truly believe that whether you actually enjoy it or not, it's a film that everyone needs to see at least once.
