For our November movie, suggested by Joyce Stewart, Vine Street at the Movies will be presenting a movie about a meal of thankfulness to end them all: Babette's Feast. It's the story of a young French war refugee who finds shelter in a Danish religious community—one that eschews even the simple pleasures that life offers. Her way of repaying them is both a delight to us and a revelation to them.
Join us on Wednesday, November 4th at 7:00 PM in the Parker Meeting Room.
"The delectable Babette’s Feast is a fable told with passion, intelligence and sumptuousness. Although it certainly has a feast at its center, it would be a mistake to think that its tribute is intended only for great cooks. No, it’s a deep reverence to all great artists--whether they make books, bowls or ballets, baskets, quilts, songs, poems, paintings . . . or films." –Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times
