There was a lot to like about the cinema adaptation of
Isak Dinesen's "Babette's Feast,"
which I believe was in Danish.
It won Best Foreign Film many years ago.

With a newly found fortune,
a French emigrée who is a master gourmet chef,
shows her gratitude to the remote Danish island where she has found sanctuary,
and prepares for its Danish natives
an enormous feast.

By film's end, everybody is singing and laughing together,
all is happiness and contentment.
Up to that point,
the foibles of all the fallible humans in the film
are shown with gentle good humor,
as they would have been in Dinesen's superb storytelling.

I haven't seen it in years,
and I still remember how good it made me feel.
