Oscar winner in 1988 for Best Foreign Language Film, director Gabriel Axel's Babette's Feast sees Babette, a Parisian refugee, called to serve a family on the forbidding and desolate coast of Jutland. Babette's lavish celebratory banquet tempts the family's dwindling congregation, who abstain from such fleshly pleasures as fine foods and wines.
This screening is part of Liverpool Architectural Society's new curated film series Consuming Architecture. The series highlights three diverse films, each exploring the subject of food. The parallels between food and architecture often overlap - from the way that raw materials are sourced, processed and consumed to our understanding of both food and architecture's global, environmental and sustainable impact.
